What can you fit in your minis boot! :)

When i was first looking around the Mini, the last thing that i looked at was the boot... When i asked the salesman to open it he kinda smiled at me..

To be honested when he opened it i wanted to laugh and so did he. BUT you expect that from a mini, kind of er cute?

So anyway this got me thinking. What could you keep perminantly in the back of your mini that was cool or even usefull? Thats your assignment go get thinking!

So far i've come up with:

A mini moto.. Round where i live, i hate that buggers who ride them on the main road so dont think i'm one of them.. But having one in the boot would to suiting as its diddy.. Would one even fit?

Another idea would be to have a set of smaller wheels (15") or so. Smaller wheels would improve acceleration and handling right? Would lose quite a bit of grip i guess but would be fun to have in the boot for a switch. Again would these fit?

Your turn!

Noooo ya cant fold the seats down! Cheating!

If ya had skates would have to have 4 pairs for the other passengers too!

[Edit] Actually maybe you should be allowed to fold them down.. but it is cheating a bit :/

I can get 10/11 resonably filled carrier bags in mine.

That keeps us in food for a week or so.
