Whoops it's too big

[Shelly]

Have you every brought anything that is too big to fit in your Z
Well it happened to us today
We brought a microwave and couldn't get it in the boot
How silly we felt taking all the packageing of the microwave in the car park
But at least it just fitted in then , what a todo that was
But at least it gave people sometimes to smile about

I've heard a story like this recently, now who was it ..........?

Tony.

ps. I have a Big bag of compost at home and our Abbie wants me to bring it in to Lincoln tomorrow , so it looks like I will have a silent passenger in the morning because it sure won't fit in the boot!

 

[Shelly]

Would rather have my microwave than compost
Mind your Z don't tip up with the weight @t-tony

 

[t-tony]

It's more likely to tip when there's just me in there to be honest Shelly.

Occasionally see people outside wickes or B&Q on a bank holiday trying to work out how they are going to get all the stuff they bought in the sale home with them. Quite entertaining!

A few years ago I went to DFS to buy a new sofa etc. and the sales man laughed out loud at me when I produced a scaled floor plan of our lounge on squared paper! You have now sense of scale whilst in these places.

After choosing the new furniture I then cut out to scale the settees, footrests etc and placed them on the plan to see if they would fit.

I could get three crates of 24 bottles of beer in the boot of my Z3.
The Smart was better though, 9 in the back and 3 in the front.

I struggled getting a mars bar in the zed boot!

That is called 'over engineered'
Ever heard of a 'tape measure'?

Would of got more in if you took them out of the crates and used carrier bags @hard top

I'm not surprised with all your cleaning gear @M666BMG

 

[Shelly]

Another man like Alan @Brian H
He measures things all the time
It is funny tho when you see people trying to get large objects in their cars
And it was us today

Yes, but over here you do not walk into a party/BBQ with carrier bags full of beer.
One would look like a gippo........

A tape measure would work but you would not get a sense of scale in the room, (he says eagerly defending himself and trying to convince himself that it was a good thing to do )

 

[Shelly]

I see I see
Our beer comes in boxes from the supermarket
We don't have crates anymore.........

 

[t-tony]

Sounds sensible to me Brian, but that's Shirl's department at our house, she does all the decorating and furnishing, I provide the transport. Unless it requires a lorry!

Tony.

 

[hard top]

OK, I have to admit to using this........
