Why do I carry all this C**p

jonela · 12-03-2014, 21:11

Went to my boot today to find something,and thought WHY! so I took every thing out and put back only what i need . and you know what! it all went back in again ! do any of you drive round with a bull boot, the only time I see the back of mine is if i'm going on holiday!

Don't matter how I try to slim down my work stuff the Polo boot is always full. Hey that'll be why it only does 30mpg from a 1.2, might as well use the truck

You really don't want to see the back, sorry entire interior of mine at the moment. Being off the road has turned it into 4 wheeled shed

With a limited slip diff on the rear, it is essential to carry some weight at the back, especially if the roads are wet.

Does that give a valid excuse?

No, Iv'e been driving for 31 years and in that time iv'e never had any points on my licence and only had 3 minor shunts, the last 15 years ago. This is partly because I dive steady and also because I treat every one else on the road like total idiots.
But you are right its not a good idea to Carry a lot of loos objects around in the car with you, but if you use it for your work its a necessary risk you take.
