What's the biggest thing you've fit into your MINI?

Today I brought home two 55-gallon poly drums in my `05 S Coupe.

The first one fit inside easily with the seats down. The second one meant that the hatch stayed open , but a bungee held it down, and the second drum was at least 60% 'inside' the car.

Can anyone top that?

The box with my new elliptical trainer in it. You should have seen the store guys face when he got to the car with the box on his dolly but I had measured so I knew it would just barely squeeze in there. I lowered my vert top. They dropped the big old box in the backseat. I raised my top & off I went

2 bass guitars (in cases of course), 6 space amp rack, pedal board, 4x10 cab, 1x15 cab, and a change of clothes. It was a tight fit and the MINI was riding low.

Largest items so far: 2 guitars. Yes, not large, but it's the largest thing I've had to haul.

My former gilrfriend (100 lbs) and her mother (who cares?). Maybe it wasn't such a big load, but it sure seemed like it. I'd rather have taken the goat.
