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 :D

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 :puke 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 :roll: :lol: :wink:
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! :wink: )

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! :lol:
