Thought you were good at packing the car?

Yep, comical. Then you get to La Goulette, and the Tunisian customs make a fair few of them empty the car... I think the favourite we saw was an E36 coupe, with even the passenger seat stuffed solid - and a small child shoved into the only spare space. The footwell.

Mind you, the Sicilians themselves aren't exactly immune to the habit. Especially with Apes - we saw one or two so badly laden that the front tyre was skipping gently along the road surface. Others were on the bumpstops with even a wardrobe on top of the cab for ballast.

I heard a three-wheeler (Ural motorcycle and sidecar) can carry at least five...3 adults and 2 children.

Yes I saw towers with wheels penduluming (?) across the desert. Must be rather exciting in the drivers seat. Or any, or even in an overtaking car's.

In cape town a few years ago I saw four lads in a car holding a settee on the roof, no straps just one hand on each corner.

All passengers must wear a seatbelt....
