...a boxed 50 litre compressor and a small mig welder into my NB! Id removed the passenger seat and we had to take the hard top off to get the box in, but it fitted back on and the door closed.

Totally practical.

Oh man! Id intended to take pictures for Nutz, but it was dark by the time I got back and Ive just moved it to my girlfriends boot. I had to bring it here as I realised that I couldnt get it out of my car on my own at home...

The welder was ex-disply and bought unboxed, so that fitted easily in the boot.

I just bought a gas/nogas Clarke EN110 for well under £200 with no box etc and it had a 4.5 kg spool of wire too.
I managed to get that in the wifes Corsa (her MX is SORN for the winter).

My Clarke Pro 90 died and I am assured its just the circuit board at £45 thats faulty but I am not going to bother as I might find that its more.

With the roof off a sports car is amazingly useful for carrying all sorts of things.

The welder was a by the way - its the compressor that I was impressed with. End-on it fitted with about an inch to spare and I just kept it off the handbrake stretching the seatbelt over the furthest corner.

I think that you get a little more headroom with the soft top, but it was close with the hard top on, in fact, I had to squash the box down a little to line up the catch...

My GF bought a fairly large (when boxed) pedal car for her nephew a few evenings ago. She just popped it onto the passenger seat and drove home with the roof down in sub-zero temperatures. That's my girl.
