Ah the days of TSE when rossini was racing in his 7 and down at the croft leg. Everyone else was sensible and took the the 7 on a transporter with a either a huge van or motorhome towing it.

Well we did it slightly differently. The blue car is the race car, the brown one that was the support car. And stuffed into the banana was a complete tool kit, a large 4 man tent, two huge sleeping bags, 1x20litre fuel can and lots of other bits and pieces of crap.

and another time

My house has an Elise and Erica's mx5 (loan barge A4 is back again now following MOT).

We often end up shopping with the Elise, it's not so bad. Tbh, it's nice to think that I can put the shopping in the boot now, the Mini boot was pitiful...

So far (on different occasions) we've found out:

Flymos fit in Elises
Mx5 boot is capable of 100 bud bottles, but the 20 Kronenberg had to go in the footwell
Elise tyres don't fint in mx5 boots
I can get 12-14 strategically packed Tesco bags in my S1, with the milk standing up at the ends
You don't want to drive too far with the shopping as the milk often leaves the boot kinda warm...

and I still have the fabric liner thing that seemingly was designed to suspend luggage in whilst protecting the corners of the boot from ever holdoing anything...

The A4 is awful for shopping. I never buy enough to fill the boot so everything flys out of the bags :(
I never realised 'family car' is a term used to describe the size of the boot... ;)
'16 MINI Cooper S - Family fun hatch
'98 Lotus Elise - Fun day car
'04 Maserati Coupe GT - Manual, v8, Italian...
'18 Mazda Mx5 - The wife's, so naturally my daily
'19 Ducati Monster 797 - Baby bike bike
