Bob Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Well 15 square metres of 18mm oak flooring, 2 door stops, 10kg of adhesive and my golf clubs (which I'd forgotten about!) proved her otherwise! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenauto Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Haha Superb Bob! I managed to fit two very large mirror edged picture frames in mine(no pics though ) Had a bet with the guy from the store that I'd get them in. We walked out to the car and he said so which ones your car. The green one I said. He walked over to a big 4 x 4. I said no the fast green one. No bloody way are you gettin those in there mate I've packed plenty cars and that'll never fit! I won the bet and took home £10 and had a very big smile on my face the rest of the night They are practical you've just got to know how to pack them correctly.

michael Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Supras were made with IKEA in mind, they love big flat packed items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 very well done, I struggled to get my set of 4 new tyres in there to go to the garage, I could only get 1 in the boot area as they are so wide, so I had to put two on the back seat and one on the passenger seat. Still not bad though van, who needs a van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the first things my housemate did when I picked up my Supe was slide the passenger seat forward, lean it back, open the boot and smiled. Then he said "yeah, it'll fit". He was measuring it up for taking windsurf kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I was going to post something sensible, plus a link to a pic of mine showing the practicality of the boot, but i got sidetracked by Bashthebishops avatar and have completely lost my train of thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 When we've gone to the south of France, we've taken 2 weeks worth of clothes(with large coats - October in the Alps gets cool), our own pillows, hiking boots, tool box, polishing/cleaning kit, 2 camera bags/tripod, various bits & pieces of food/drink etc. and we still manage to leave the boot pretty much empty to put the roof in when we take it off!
