Unusual loads in PH-worthy cars!

This was a couple of years ago... Had to take some long lengths of liner lock to site, wouldn't go in the Combo Van as the bulkhead was in the way, so put it in the Stag with the roof down.

The ex works Cayenne Turbo, replaced by the current X5 4.0d ( The Porsche used the same amount of fuel not towing as the X5 does towing ! ) The all up ( train weight ) is around 6.200kg.

Bloody hell!

What size is that boat and is this in the UK?

Well, if James Bond can put skis on the back of his Esprit, why can't I do the same on my Excel? Bonus with the Excel is I can take both my sons skiing in it.

This morning's commute. Now hoping the dent in the leather will work its way out over time

All sorts of cool going on in that picture! The Excel is on my lottery list of cars.

Not so much a PH car, but since people have been posting all sorts of sheddy hatchbacks, I raise them my 1 seater Nissan Micra with ~60% of its kerb weight in wood in the back. Arches where scraping all the way home .

I think we can safely conclude from this thread that if you want a practical, carry anything car...buy a convertible!

not sure how you managed to transport that canvas in that manner without it splitting in half or flying out the car.

All my cars get properly used! At the moment i've got a 2016 Audi S8 4.0T and it's been brimmed on camping trips and tip runs on a regular basis. Not exactly impractical as it's quite big and also quattro, but it does look rather nicely out of place!

Drove slowly it did flex a bit, i probably had it the wrong way round though. Journey was about 3 miles.
The gap between the seat backs and rear non-boot was exactly the same as the painting, widthwise was about 20mm to spare, so perfectly captured. And the cabriolet hoop helped too.

The Clio Cup track car makes a great tool for clearing the garden. I can just sweep it out at the end too.
