Biggest thing you've squeezed into your car?

The straw chopper rotor from a Hew Holland TX36 combine harvester will fit in the back of a MKII Golf. Just.

Moved the remaining household contents (including TV) into my Clio when moving from London to Bristol.
The car was so tightly packed that by the time I'd got to Bristol, there were various places inside the car which has been rubbed away, e.g. dashboard trim.
Not smart being able to see out of only the driver's windows and the windscreen. Did the journey at night to avoid any abvious trouble.
Wouldn't do it again. Young and foolish was I.

Not the biggest, but certainly the heaviest.
I was building my house and due to a severe lack of funds I had to sell my van to buy a caravan to live in - this left the OH's leased smart car as our only means of transport. I managed to shift a lot of bags of cement etc in it, but the heaviest was definitely 3 x 600mm wide rolls of code 5 lead for the flat roof.
I was very relieved when the car was returned to lease company, and I apologise to the person who eventually had the misfortune to buy it......
I also remember running a cafe/bar a quite a few years ago - the only way we could buy frozen blueberry's was in vast quantities - I used to buy a massive box, keep them frozen in my flat (freezer) and transport them back when required on my scooter. The hardest bit was balancing them either on the back box or over the footrest. If they were on the back, the bars used to wobble badly when you reached 20mph.

Similar for me, except it was last year and i'm old enough to know better. Not a clever journey.The car was so tightly packed that by the time I'd got to Bristol, there were various places inside the car which has been rubbed away, e.g. dashboard trim.

I've also had a DR350 in the back of a Merc estate.
I don't see why only having a motorbike should limit transporting things, so I've carried a lawnmower and all of my diving kit (Inc weights and cylinder) before.
35 packs of 24 bottles of 500ml Coke/Water/assorted drinks, 32x5kg bags of pick n mix and a few boxes of mars bars etal.
all inside a 2.5 Jag S-type....all seats folded (Inc passenger) the whole back stacked up, sweets behind the rear headrests, drinks/sweets in all footwells....It was so bad to fit the last in i had to load things in through the rear windows and from the drivers seat (put right forward)...all i can say is that with all the excess weight the car took an awful long time to stop...especially when the croydon mini-cab drivers decide to pull out of side turnings...was riding on the bump stops of the rear suspension!

Antique dresser in (on) Alfa Spider. Last day of a closing-down sale - had to be removed immediately.
Top down. Jacket on the boot. Spare wheel on jacket. Rest the dresser on the wheel and top of the windscreen. Drive (slowly) home.
Never seen so many police cars on a short journey, but didn't have to stop.

Presumably wearing your BC/Wing with cylinder attached, and assuming you're in the UK, your drysuit? I've also had a DR350 in the back of a Merc estate.

You nutter, that or you're cheating and have an outfit? For me either a chest freezer into a Fiat Stilo, or two 3 seat couches in a Disco. Both times with the tailgates lashed down.
