Oho I know just how much you can get in a breadie, thanks
Like, pretty much my entire worldly possessions when at uni (mate actually had to force me to take stuff off the roofrack as the interior contents were enough to cause the exhaust to scrape).
And then there's this..........
(one of three, or was it four batches. Thats nearly 500kg of paper there, which later had to be shifted on foot - oddly it didnt seem to cut too badly into hill climbing performance, but the handling effects were diabolical.. I could feel the rear wheels overcambering and making the car 'wallow' through corners enough that there was about a half second's delay between turning the steering wheel and the car changing direction. Enough to make me take it *very* easy after the first mile or so.. Tyres were pumped up to about 35 psi on the back but were still having problems!)
Thing is, though there's certainly bags of volume, it's not exactly cut out for long items (i've yet to tackle removing the seats - something i need to do to fix their wobbliness and cook up some kind of replacement tilt-release), even CD racks from Ikea are a pain to get inside.
The maker managed to do all that inside of 820kg? That's not hardly any heavier than the regular hatchback
With a GT motor too, it must fly pretty good when unladen.
And of course, there are actually two subs - in showy plastic covers
Another crazy idea - a TDi into a mk2 or 3?
(remembering these cars are from the days from when you could have efficient, or powerful, but not both...)
would be a first for definate hehe
