Small boot space :(
Irony - 17/5/12 at 02:25 PM

Just finished doing the boot space in my Viento. Looks nice but the space is somewhat limited. I reckon I could squeeze in a small tent and a very thin sleeping bag. Or maybe 24 cans of beer. Not both however. Completely all you need of course.

Does anyone have more space than this in a Sevenish car? Any novel solutions out there?

Some people use a duffel bag type thing strapped down on the top of the rear end. I think there was a guy on here selling something that hung behind the seats as well.

So, you've never seen Clive's (Snuggs) Viento arriving or leaving a show then.

here we go I thought I had one


What he manages to get IN and ON his boot is amazing.

A friend put a universal roof-rack across the roll bar back braces and perched a (cut down) mesh box on that. Holds heaps
