Found a guy on gumtree selling off some coal before he moves house at £15 for 50kg. Bought 125kg yesterday, getting another 125kg tomorrow. In open bags, the boot of my rental car may never be the same again :lol:
Only 125kg.. it's only the same as a fat person in the back . Get it filled up to it's max capacity and see how it goes .

Best thing about rentals it doesn't really matter :lol: :shock: :mrgreen:
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Quite right, I'm just a whuss these days ;-)
The rental car has a "sport" mode, might turn that on to stiffen up the suspension to stop it bottoming out when I load it up with 500kg of coal :lol:

GeeGee I've got Addisons disease and my dentist did something similar, vanished smartly through to the other room and came back hiding behind the senior dentist. I hope you and Mr GG stay well through the winter pet xx

I miss my old Swedish Brick..... The current Volvo is an old S40, the boot is still huge but the opening is a bleeding funny shape.
