Absolute doddle.

Goallll!!!!! England 2 Uraguay 1

As I was saying....

Pack loose, the sides of the boot are quite accomodating, just an awkward shape. Pack into plastic bags and stuff them into the corners. Tent will go where the roof usually sits (in the boot, not on top of the car ) Pack other items around the tent.

Shoes, jackets, duvet covers and the like can go behind the seats, and of course the soft top goes on the passengers lap.

Very easy, I've taken the elise camping and also had 2 weeks in France including the good ladys paraphernalia.

Regards, Neil

no problem...hundreds of Elise owners go every year just like that

use space behind the seat, under the passengers legs (squashy bag is comfy) and as above - pack it in bin liners if you have to!

...I got lazy and now send everything in advance in a support truck..tents, sofas, fridge, cinema screen & speakers etc

Indeed, you'd be amazed at how much you can get in a liz with the right amount of forethought.

As for bogie, it helps if you're 'connected' so other people load up their massive trailer with all your gear so you can pimp it down and pack more velvet suits

LOL - thats right.....no point in slumming it if you can help it

...we have 20 pitches reserved for 'Camp Sinclaire Motorsport' on the Airtrack site so just keep an eye out for the flags/refrigerated trailers and cinema marquee
