Biggest thing you've squeezed into your car?

[AndrewW-G]

Cement mixer that was on special offer in B&Q in a RUF RCT Evo (964 C4 Cab base)

A mountain bike in an mgf, I also got a roof in the passenger seat as well.

Picked up 4 tyres in a 406 coupe.

40 paving slabs in my mums 205 years ago.Trying to spread the weight I put 10 in the front footwells.Didnt work.Mum sold it soon after.

10 massive conifers in/on my old Granada Scorpio.Back seats were flat and from the front seats to the tailgate was rammed with branches.The trees themselves went on the roof with the branches touching the road front and back.Luckly the tip was only 1/4 mile away.

47 motorbike racing tyres in the back of my Mondeo estate.Reckon I could have had another 5 or so in there.

2 complete bathroom suites in the same Mondeo including baths.

An ikea double wardrobe (flat packed) into a ka. Drivers seat right forward with it resting on my head so much so that my head was at a slight angle for the 45 drive home.

This doesn't sound that impressive compared to some on here, but I know this must of been a tight squeeze as it was in my focus, pacel shelf out back seats down and still resting on top of the passenger seat touching the roof lining..

MY brother somehow got 2 surfboards and a bodyboard, me and another passenger into his Impreza WRX STi a few years ago. In. Doors all shut fine. Boot was shut.

When my mum was working for Help the Aged when I was a toddler in a booster chair, she stuffed the car (Volvo 360GLT) so full of the clothes donation bags that I had one on my lap and one on my head, held by the window on my left and the bag on the right of it, and the headrest of the front passenger seat!

I once squeezed a pilot's ejector seat from an F4 Phantom jet into the front of an Alfa 155. Quite funny. On the way home the 155 broke down and the bloke from the AA who came to pick me up was decidedly nervous about having the it on the back of his flatbed.

Afew years back i was sent to jewsons to pick up 10 bags of cement in an old escort company hack its fair to say the steering was rather light on the journey home!

I bought a Ktm pro50 kids mx bike whilst visiting parents in south wales, and wedged it in the back of my 996 turbo and drove the 200 miles home with it leaking petrol over the back seats.

[Leins]

Four lads into a MkI TT for 6 miles of London driving, 6'2 - 6'8. Front seat passenger changing gear

This: in my wife's old car:



I also borrowed my mums Renault 21 estate to pick up 3 rover v8 engines (and engine crane for obvious reasons).

I told her I needed it 'to pick up some car parts'. I wasn't allowed to borrow her car again for some time....

I managed a drum kit, three amplifiers, guitars and three of the four band members in a Vaxuhall Astra once. And I'm really not sure how we did it.

Same, but in a Focus. I suspect I get extra points as the drive was London to Glasgow and back!

[PainTrain]

I managed to fit my zxr 400 in my Citroen AX.

Do I win?

[m44kts]

One of these (flat packed)

http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/9007846...

Into a classic mini.

Doesn't sound much, but the box was quite big, loads of people watching, thinking, "that's never going in there"

Slid it across the front seats and tipped it over into the back, jumped in a drove off with bemused people standing who were struggling getting stuff in much bigger cars.

[cris654321]

got 55 1"x6" 1.8m fence boards into my corsa c along with all old posts and frame work for about 8m of 6ft fencing was touching the roof and i had to hold it all to prevent it from falling on me round left hand corners along with lots of tools i couldnt look left at junctions so i had to turn left then turn around to turn right got home ok though all 20miles needless to say the car was on its arseif only i had a picture :/

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!

Thats ~600kgs of sugary crap, not surprising it took a while to stop.
