The 11 passengers was my mate, and 10 chicks. And they don't mind lying on each other.

3 in the front besides me, 5 in the back seats, and 3 in the boot. (It was empty) I was working on a boot install at the Manual Arts room. (So cool, my school let me work on my car as a project )

My best was a complete Starion engine, gearbox, bellhousing, and a box of other parts and two people. Boot couldn't quite close tho so had to use rope.

Thank god that Starion had a space saver spare wheel.

What are you talking about, mine came stock from the factory like that, except for the two people! :D

Don't know about the "complete" engine anymore...

Yeah I also had a complete engine in the back of my car. It was in pieces but it was all there. My car was so heavy in the rear. (I had new engine in teh front).

And go figure. I had trouble fitting a new bike (compelete in box) in the widebody. Granted also I didn't use the boot :x

Who's 'we'? Do you work for a cinema?

I was hanging around with all my mates at Marion for the premiere. They were the nerds in SW costumes, not me :wink:

i drove from sydney to the goldcoast with;

2 x surfboards and wetsuits
1 x skateboard
1 x med size toolbox
2 x back packs
2 x small suit cases
snacks, drink, CD's and 1 x very unhappy girlfriend.

if you have ever taken a surfboard in a starion you will understand why she was so unhappy.

haha it was twin engined, one in the boot.

Have a space saver in that Starion, then put down the back seats, and used an engine crane to lift the bugger in there, although I put the gearbox in by hand, the boot was about 1cm from closing, had to rope it tho

I was able to fit a fiberglass starion cowl hood in the back of my 88 TSI then close the hatch and drive it around 250 miles from Dallas to Houston with no problems. It's a little tricky getting the hoods into the back, but they WILL fit in the hatch.

Also hauled full sets of widebody Starion wheels (with tires mounted) in my Quest.
