Harris did a vid bit on the Ferrari FF practicality. I have fitted a remarkable amount into a Caterham before now. Anyone who's seen me unpack at a trackday has done a double take. I know, I know. No photos, didn't happen.

Wanted to bring a free extension ladder back from Switzerland - 993 turbo and a roof rack seemed the ideal solution.

Not recent, but I must be in with a shot of winning this - right?

Almost on-topic... not so much unusal, but quite efficient packing!

I used my old Clio V6 as a beer fridge for the Renault World Series one year, which then turned into a nice cold sink to wash away my hangover in the morning laugh



I was really impressed until I saw it was full of Fosters hehe

Skeptic!

I wasn't even allowed to give the wife a bag to put on her knee, which she doesn't mind for shorter trips.

I'll bet not many S1 Elise owners know that the roof and side rails fit in the front service compartment!

When I used to make trips to the specialist (35 miles away) and nobody was around to give me a lift I'd bike it, which lead to some interesting return journeys...





Nowadays I have much more sensible transport arrangements, of course:

The towing M5 reminded me of a Silver Shadow I once saw at Oulton Park hitched up to a car trailer. Also saw this heading down the motorway biggrin

That looks like a CL500, so 300+ bhp would make a good towing barge!

Not my photo but we have a little red fiat seicento and they're the best car for tip runs, you get funny looks from people seeing how much you keep pulling out the back of one of these things!

Apologies for it not being anywhere near a PH worthy car, but how often is a picture of a cow in a fiat that relevant to anything

Some great entries in here! I used to have an album of "Innapropriate uses for a Ford Focus" with allsorts on the roof... The best being a sofa which we used to spectate above the crowd at a drifting comp, but I've sold that now!

I've got an MX5 and a ladder though?
