Default Whats the most suprising thing you have carried in your Pan ?

This is my second Panamera, and the guys at the local tip know I jokingly refer to my car as my van when I arrive there.
I have had it full to the ceiling in the past with household waste, Having spent the last 8 months refurbing my new (to me) house.

This morning I finally got round to getting rid of 3 internal doors (I have some residential passes for a works van but have misplaced them and was being nagged about the doors leant against the garage outside),
(and don't want a skip on my new drive)

Anyway, I didn't need to cut them up - Could fit a full length door in and comfortably drive too.

Let us know how that went? I assume one of the wheels have to come off?

Good on you for covering your number plate. Can't have people knowing what it is! #Privacy

of course, don't want it cloning
especially as its parked right next to an almost identical one each day.

Always do it force of habit, in UK cars are often "cloned" for criminal activity, or to ignore the many speed cameras we have, etc etc, etc.
But yeah its unlikely mine would be cloned.

Yeah, apparently Shmee150 had someone clone his Focus RS. I find it shocking that number plates can be so easily made, as opposed to being issued by the government.

Rules have changes a little, you need your V5 ( Registered owner document) to get a new plate.
Or, like mine with a black GB Euro logo, you can order on line from Ireland (southern) as they don't have the same rules, they can do "legal" plates, but I would guess they are used when people want show plates or wrongly spaced plates.
I often watch police programmes in UK, and once some "******" used black electrical tape to alter his number, he changed a zero to an eight, but he got stopped as he had changed it to a registration that didn't exist , lol.

Cant be too careful.
Indeed, the latest craze is youths on motorbikes pulling up along side at lights and robbing you.
(Its like the wild west out there sometimes )

No wheels need to come off. The widest distance to navigate is the saddle to the bottom of the rear tire, but even that is not bad as the wheel slips into the cutout.

You’d never know there’s a grill inside




A Kitchenaid grill.

Bought at Home Depot today unexpectedly. Used some reusable grocery bags to protect trunk sill. Had help loading it.
To remove we lined sill with a moving blanket. Slid grill up and over and no trouble getting on to the wheels.

Removed the trunk privacy screen screen and laid it on top once grill was in place. Had room to spare!

The bike and the grill are impressive.
Although with a Hybrid there are no cut-outs/recesses to put the wheel in.




also a BBQ grill in its box,
but also 4 window blinds , 2 of which are just over 2 metres.

Awesome! Love it! Thanks for my Monday morning smile! I love my PTT but haven't been so bold to pack it full (too worried of scuffing/scratching!).

Its satisfying when you can empty the garage and fill the car, but I love arriving at the tip, with a full "load", it gathers a few interested people, which then results in a chat about the car whilst we all stand looking at it.

Be warned though, watch the lights in the tail/boot lid, my business partner just cracked one of his pushing the boot down onto something he thought would give way !
