When we 1st got the Elise it was our only car and I think we managed about 8 Sainsbury's bags in the boot. Quite often the case of fizzy pop had to go in the passanger footwell to maximise space

Having said that, we had an S1 111S at the time so I suspect that we may get a bit more into the S2.

Cheers

Have to agree , the black one's are however some of the side effects are abit difficult to live with as well, pissing on all the lampposts every time I nip out to the car is annoying the neighbours a tad

I like in kilmarnock nobody really notices

you should have seen the RLC on French Frolic - precision packing - took far too many clothes thinking we might in some respectable establishments! ( i had more clothes for the first 3 days than Tut took for the 2 weeks!

)

2 A048's
5 bags (small sports bag, 3 rucksacks, & electronic devices and map bag!)
3 pairs of speedcats
Oil
2 bottle of juice
full set of RS14's
2 ball joints
1 drive shaft (fubar spec)
roof
shower cape
helmet
gloves
D-SLR kit
Multiple MP3 players
Silkolene
Running kit (used once!)

A048's proved to be handy storage bins!

Was also impressed when I managed to get my skis in the passenger seat (just!), but then realised it ain't really the kinda car you're going to take up the mountains in winter!
