Your car carrying heavy loads

Featured Replies

So today I picked up 1000 thompson locals to deliver around where I live, and acheived some lowerage haha!

Just wondered if you guys use your cars for carrying anything?

Being at uni I always use my car for shopping trips and for taking all my luggage to and from uni.

I used mine to bring an my G40 engine back from Yorkshire (I was living in Cardiff at the time)

Only other pic I've got of it fully loaded is this one when I moved out of my student house:

I carried three bags of kiln dried sand, 2 bags of building sand, a bag of cement and three bags of gravel back from b and q a few weeks ago in my mk2 loon. The rake was absolutely epic and its was bloody slow :lol:

If you dont mind me asking, how much do you get paid for delivering those Thompsons?

My boot is always full of random crap :oops::lol: i was driving around with 3 alloys in my boot and 2 on the back seats for a few weeks, only took them out the other day. Theres also 2 rad fans and housings in there, an amp and some speakers (still need to wire that shit up actually, been in there for weeks) plus other bits of crap that i cant remember

You can see some rubbish in this pic. Plus some shit on the front seat :lol: thats how i roll :nod:

Gives a good excuse for not carrying back seat passengers, having rubbish on the back seats - woop!!

my boots like the Bermuda triangle, shit goes in there never to be seen again, i only remember it's in there when i go to add more shit to it. i was driving around for a bit with a pc tower, a pit bike frame and a beetle exhaust and inlet mani in it a few eeks back, plus other random bits and bobs that have gathered over time.

when i went to edition last year i couldn't be arsed to set my rear coilovers to sit right with the front, so i just stacked 3x2 slabs in the boot till it was sitting right

£150 tax free cash! worked out it will take about 15 hrs so £10 a hr

Plus being a girl hoping for nice weather too get a tan at the same time!!

Being a 1.4 acceleration driving home was awful and living in a small flat they're still in my car :( how long before I'm going to need new shocks?!

I drive around with so much shite in my car. On an average day it will have my bmx, golf clubs, golf trolley, skateboard, toolbox etc in there, as well as half empty drink bottles, crisp packets and other rubbish that I can never be arsed to take out. Dread to think how much it costs me in fuel.

Already posted a thread like this last week and only one person responded. Any way the breadvan is the real Polo workhorse..

This was loaded up for Plymouth Volksfest last year, all seats occupied and loads of food and crates haha!

Mine has had all sorts in it in its lifetime. However with my new wheels I have to make sure I don't have large weights in the back. :lol:

My standard bready can be used as a work horse :-D

I'm picking an engine up on sat thats going in the boot of my MK3.

Seen some of these pics had made me feel better about doing it :lol:

Engine and a crane in the back of a MK3 haha, legendary.

Never had nothing extreme other than a car full of adults, that was a strain on the engine :lol:

But when something goes in my car, it barely ever comes out till it starts growing and walks away. Like my tent from VW Festival, I only took it out when it started snowing because i needed to get the spade in the car :lol:

carried 4 sets of alloys in the back of the tdi...no picks unfortunately but trust....it was mega low lol

these were too big to fit in boot safely so went on passenger seat...

22 gallon barrel of carling

11 gallon barrel of strongbow

one of my mates in the boot for a laugh then decided to turn 6x9's up and nearly deafen the guy then 'ragged' it about a bit (sharp turns & heavy braking ftw!)

in a 1.0 6n2 was fun... full throttle ftw!

(bold highlighted) WTF BBQ LOLlypops :lol:

The other day i put 8 bags of gravel and 2 bags of cement in mine, was proper low and even more slow than usual lol :lol: :lol:

wasn't going to add that last one in but thought "Sod It!" it was also on my driveway so was off road.

He got in the boot of his own accord and told him what i was going to do and he was happy with it so i did!

I end up going to bookers wholesale's each week to pick up stock for work and have filled the boot and back seats till it is sitting on the floor at the back and the wheels scrub. its use's loads of petrol aswell when i have a full load,why do some of you guys drive around with extra weight in your car for no reason ? does it not rinse your fuel.

old car moving into old house at end of 1st year of uni

filled up the zimma for various road trips / moving house etc quite a few times but no pics, not really worth taking pictures of it. can carry a lot of crap though and with 4 people and fully loaded it looks sick hahaha

I'm sure it looks lower today than it did yesterday - glad I'm getting them delivered tomorrow! Plus engine is really not impressed with all the extra weight!

My pug was permanently on the bump stops so it didnt matter what it put in it it never got any lower.

Me and a passenger is enough to cary in my car ;) scrubbs like hell at the back.
