Boot Space G33
Discussion
So many forums to surf...so little time!
33 has an ok boot for a small sports car, full width of car and triangular section, suitable for a few sports bags, supplemented by about a 600mm square by 200mm high 'parcel shelf' above the rear axle, which you may get a small bendy-hoop tent into.

I drove from newcastle to lagos in portugal and all manner of places in between, and then lived in portugal for months with all I ever needed crammed into my faithful G33
it will take, for example: 1 1.5X2.5X1ft suitcase, four 2ft squashy sports bags, a medium sized rucksack, a portable stereo, a full tonneau cover, all manner of spares and tools including the mandatory bits for euro travel. also had two box files and a tent
you can fit a surprising amount in, it's all down to packaging
my biggest problem was cruising at 140mph and having to fill up every 110miles
if you run the tank dry you'll get 160 miles out of it but I was keeping the tank a quarter full between fills

plus, as they're so light the tyres and pads will hardly wear at all - I bought mine with the original factory tyres on the front and some 4 year old bridgestone potenzas on the rear and after 3 trackdays and 15000 miles they were still 4mm all round!

Just out of interest where did you put the helmet, a freind of mine has a G4 and cant get a crash helmet in the boot. Does the G33 have a bigger boot
just used to put it in the boot..or get the wench in the passenger seat to carry it
