There were guys on here that used to mix two stroke oil with their fuel, others that added nail polish remover, honestly, you couldn't make it up!

 

Great, I nearly choked on my tea.

That's me just noticing the boot liner in this. I'll have to check on Google to see if such a thing can be procured either for the estate or the hatch (MOT dependant) for when I've got the dog in the car.

Yes, not cheap

theres a website on which you can compare the boot sizes side by side of pretty much every car on the market.

its incredibly handy... and quite surprising sometimes...

separately, Ryan, you could easily ha r unscrewed the top and base of that lamp and probably couldve left the seats up

I had 25 minutes to get to the tip (you have to book appointments) and the journey takes 20 minutes so I just dropped the seats and panicked.

Seems like a Combi would suit me quite nicely. My hatchback has moved, among other things:

 

-Those things in the picture, plus another 50 kg bag of onions in the rear seats.

 

-A complete elliptical trainer, unfolded.

 

-An industrial deep fryer. Three times.

 

-A table for four, plus seats.

 

-A stovetop oven, a queen mattress plus bed sheets, and luggage for two, all at the same time.

 

 

Only thing keeping me from getting a Combi is they have a bad rep thanks to funeral homes, power users of the things round here, sadly. Maybe a Mk2 would be nicer as it doesn't look as hearse-ish as the Mk1.

I quite like the idea of being carted off in the back of a Skoda when my time comes

Black Roomster?

Perfect

Any estate can be a funeral home victim. And now that car brands aren't bringing any more estates here because of them, they're switching to minivans and SUVs, so even a Yeti is a prime candidate for transportation to the "neighborhood of the lying ones". Any colour, any trim, slap a couple of stickers and that's now a hearse. Good God...

They sell a similar generic version at home bargains, it's a bit too small for the Octavia but it still works well enough. Can't find it online sorry.

Will have to check that. Cheers!

My mk2 has a boot liner in it, probably because the previous owners had dogs in it.

Its a thing I never knew I needed until I had one. Think a hatchbag would be OTT imo.

I've got a rubber boot mat doowhacky in mine. It's ideal for carrying potted plants etc. with the bungee cords holding them in place. Think the old double duvet originally for the back seats would maybe make a good liner though.
