This 9'4" kayak!




See?






Also 2 mountain bikes, but the pic above is a lot better then what I did!


-Paul!

 

4 17x7.5 wheels (no tires) and 4 215/45-17 tires (unmounted). It was a squeeze and the guys at the tire shop were scratching their heads... but it was awesome!

 

4 Full Army Duffles, 1 Foot locker, a large bug out bag, and a medium sized laptop bag. Possibly about to do this again, for another 10+ hour trip, yay me.

 

1 windsurfer, 3 sails, boom, 2 masts, wetsuit, helmet, etc.

 

And no, I did not remove the passenger seat...

 

Where do you windsurf? Heading to Maui in May for a few weeks to sail.

 

SF Bay, baby.

 

Never sailed there..but hear it is good minus the cold water and sharks


\Hood River, Costa Rica, Maui (fav), Oahu, & Padre Island

 

Never been bothered by cold or sharks. I've got very sweet launches within 10 minutes of where I live and where I work. I guess I need to get to Maui someday, but it is pretty amazing here during the season.

 

My previous record was a 32" TV in box. Last year was an 8' Norway Pine for Christmas (onlookers staring like they were watching a John Holmes movie: ...there's no way that's all gonna' fit...)

After seeing some of these posts, though, I am very impressed.

A Love Sac. For some high quality, entertainment see the thread discussing this matter:

The most people I've had in my MINI is 5. The car felt so heavy.

 

I am jealous...sailing in Colorado or anywhere near is a sit-and-wait affair

 

Wouldn't have thought it possible.

 

Sorry no pictures but I went to my moms for Thanksgiving and I drove, my wife in the passenger, two teenagers in the back, 3 pies, large onion dip, 2 bags of chips, some drinks, orange juice and champange, etc. etc. No problems but I wasn't in my most comfortable driving position.

 

Only 4 for me, i'm 6'8 so there's not much room to begin with.

 

I think my max was coming home from thanksgiving this past weekend:

• Large Craftsman ratchet set
• Canvas bag full of tools (about 1'x1'x3')
• clothes basket (1.25'x1.25'x3')
• golf bag
• stack of clothes on hangers about a foot deep
• potted plant
• 2 pair of shoes
• Trashbag with my Wii, wires, controllers, and games
• Camera bag
• Backpack
• Small shopping bag with my sisters' Christmas presents and my allergy medicine in it
• Heavy jacket

I know I'm forgetting something(s). The passenger seat held my backpack and the passenger floorboard had the plant.

 

Cutest damn thing!

 

Not possible in a cabrio.

 

The most i have ever fit was all of my clothes in the back when i moved they when from top to bottom and font seats to hatch It was a little full

 

ive pulled the cross country trip before...i had 2 foot lockers,2 seabags,camelbak BFM(google it to see just how big it is, pretty much the biggest pack camelbak makes)...laptop bag,cooler and a few other things...and that wasnt too long ago cuz i just came back from iraq

 

I went to Home Depot todya to get my xmas tree. 6' tree and the guy on the lot said no way. no problem.

 

2 Suitcases, shoebag, small cooler, assortment of bags with pet supplies and litter box, 1 large white Siberian Husky (Angel), 1 Grey Cat (CAT) for long weekend at beach... PS: Wife and I occupied the two front seats..

 

Are you kidding? I'll wager that a top-down cabrio has much more capability to carry windsurf boards.

I will borrow, as an example, a pic from the thread I already linked on the first page to this thread (and this is with 2 people still sitting up front):

 

Picked up my Kenmore Propane Grill this spring and the box JUST barely fit...didn't think to post a pic
