eBay and beer should not be mixed!

7 of the long rolls of insulation from Wickes inside the car (Vauxhall Cavalier) + 4 tied on roof with no roof rack.

I'm also guilty of an Ikea trip just to 'have a look' and then having to drive back up the M6 in an old Nova, knees under chin with the back loaded with furniture...fun times

Did get one over on the other half on saturday, I rehomed a relaxer armchair from my Mothers and went to collect it in his Astra Sport hatch. Not a chance would it fit. I had that wonderful sense of superiority as I loaded it into the back of my much laughed at shed of a renault clio with room to spare

Just getting back to my piccy of the young lady earlier. I would have thought it would have been done earlier!!!

And what does the term 'custard' mean? in the post ollowing, being new, i am still learning the patois

Thanks

Ron

Hi Ron,

I didn't realise the picture of the young lady wasn't someone you knew...I assumed you were posting a picture of someone you were telling us that you REALLY had in your car.

As I thought you might have been telling porkies, I called Custard.

On Pistonheads, if someone comes on and boats about having a particular thing - say someone appears and says he's got a Lamborghini Murielago Revention, or is a Formula One test driver, you might find someone calling Custard.

This means that the boaster has to get a tin of Bird's Custard, and take a photo of themselves with the said boasted item alongside the tin of custard, to prove they are telling the truth.

So I would have wanted a picture of said young lady holding a tin of custard if you had told us she was a friend / girlfriend.

See this thread here for more information and a good laugh

I once loaded a young lady of considerable size into the back of my old Jag... She must be upwards of 24 stone (I kid you not!). But her in the boot and gave me enough traction to get out of my sisters very icy drive. And trust me, you don't want pics of this particular lady!

A complete interior for a MK2 Golf GTI into the back of my 306 Dturbo with space to spare.

Mk3 Granada swallowed a complete bathroom suite inc the bath.

More recently, i borrowed my daughters Fusion to collect a UPVC window from Clacton on Sea. Pity i didn't measure it first, it stuck 2ft out of the back and i had to drive back to Sheffield with the boot wide open.

Proper man style packing

[lawrence567]

In a Renault Scenic, a kind size divan bed, with 4 drawers & a king size mattress strapped to the roof.
I had to drive crouched forwards & half out the window, luckily i only had to take it about 3 miles, it was practically wedged in!
Oh & also a 2 seater sofa + associated cushions.

My car is completely full up with 'air'.

It's actually in there all the time - easy to load, it just gets in there by itself really. It's easily and efficiently transported, because it moulds itself around every nook and cranny inside the vehicle. I never bother unloading it to be honest - I just leave it there, whether I'm commuting, or going on a long journey.

I do use some of it whilst I'm driving, true - but it's easy to load more in - there's grilles on the dashboard to do a re-fill, or if I want to load in a greater quantity quickly whilst on he move, I use the buttons on the door panel, which opens the big, glass loading hatches, which are fitted to all 4 doors.

Once the car is stopped, I can open any of the doors or the rear hatch to replenish the load with some fresh stuff. Luckily for us, the Government don't tax us on it just yet, so it's still all free of charge to load up with as much as I want

So this has gotta be the 'Biggest thing I've squeezed into my car.' Right?

I always feel a sense of comradery when a fellow internet user knows the name of someone i also know


Years ago when i was starting out i shovelled type 1 into the boot of my xr3i. The bloke selling the stuff was gobsmacked when i opended the boot and started shovelling not sure how much i got in but it was on its arse, i'd estimate around quarter of a tonne and there were little stones in there for a long time after.
I also remember finishing a job and clearing it and loading into the car, there were tools, off cuts of block paving, kiln sand,cement and what sticks out in my memory the most and i'll never forget was a fk off bit of mesh what the hell people following must have thought (actually what the fk did the customer think )

Those were the days

Hardcore, I don't give a fk building work!

we all have to start somewhere.

Easier than trying to use an estate where the boot won't shut.

My ex mother in laws very very fat ass in a Rover 100! I couldn't change gear so drove 5 miles in 2nd gear with her fat ass in the way.

Never again thank god!!!
