i managed to fit a complete nissan 4cyl engine into the boot of my sedan once, upright ... took the spare tyre out and sat the sump into the spare wheel compartment, ties it down and boot lid shut.

You should have seen the faces at the wreckers, priceless, especially they loaded it in there with a forklift!

You can do that in Adelaide as they don't have the same amount of traffic as 'proper' capital cities

Although they're not the only ones to have stuff hanging off their AU's...
and sadly, the front is worse!.
(Locals around here will recognise this one)

I could be wrong, but it doesnt look like adelaide. Looks like Port Augusta.

... and you could do that in Adelaide even with large amounts of traffic cause our people are peacful. Do this in melbourne and youd be followed, shot and stabbed. SA pride

All of South Australia looks like it's straight out of Mad Max. Except for Glenelg, which looks like it's out of District 9

Wasn't Mad Max filmed near Broken Hill, over the NSW boarder?

Split rear seats and a fold out windscreen, boot open ,,reckon he still may have struggled


Best attempt at moving long objects in a car I have seen for a while was old mate at Bunnings who had 8 lengths of timber strapped under his car end to end by the bumber bars with about 2 meters hanging out either end ,got some weird looks at the lights when the timber was hanging out 2 mts into the crossing traffic
