With a bit of luck if i can make PF, i should have (99% sure) picked my new car up....if not Celica will fit everything in fine!

So how much stuff can you fit in a 911 SC targa with the targa top off? Will i manage to fit all my stuff in it? Keeping in mind i'll want the targa top in the boot as well if the weathers fine!

You taking the Elise? In that case if an Elise can manage it i'm damn sure a 911 can!!

Got to ask for the weekend off work tomorrow though, with a bit of luck i'll be able to take 3 days holiday!!

I went camping a couple of weeks ago to rockingham....

In an MR2 you can fit

2 comfy chairs with drinks holders (these take 76.4% of the space)
1 5(2) man tent
2 sleeping bags with ground sheets
2 people
1 stove
some cd's and a camera
bottle opener and a pen knife

Not much space left for the gazebo so that will be delegated! Also not much room for beer, but that can be bought when in norfolk, surely its cheaper than in london!

You will have to show me the boot, I have never seen how small it is before, I couldnt imagine a boot any smaller than ours hehe Unless it has no boot of course

Don't forget you'll have the tent & air bed on the way home.

Mine was fine last year Nichola.

Don't forget that your rear seats fold down to give a decent sized load area too

Yeah, consider yourself lucky, I'm driving over to the UK tommorow in the 993 and trying to fit all my luggage and a tent and stuff for 12 days vacation yikes

The 911 is suprisingly practical if you bring along "srunchy" bags that squash up.

Are you going to be around for a meet, or too hectic a schedule?
