Also handy for getting shrubbery and trees from the gardens centers. Just avoid the knights.

I think mine is very practical. I once did a trip to france to get some wine, came back with over 150 bottles in the boot!

Which reminds me I must do it again!

No, thats damp...........


I did buy a couple of apple trees and being around four feet high at the time the some staff at the garden center on a fag break thought the entertainment had arrived. Until I dropped the lid and sat them in the passenger side. Stuck out a bit but they enjoyed the ride.

Before I gave up an went for two cars I was deadly serious about getting a 350i 2+2 to transport my mountain bike in.

That said, even the S has the biggest boot of any convertible I've owned.

I got a set of ladders 7 feet long in my tuscan, impracticle, pah!

On a more serious note, has any ever found out how much weight the boot floor ill actually take? I have fears of going over a bump and the contents dropping through the bottom.

Even if the fibreglass layup was thin it would hold quite some weight. However the handling will not be happy with much more than 40 kg!

I've had almost 90kg of wine/food and luggage back from Italy in the boot and the main problem was bottoming out on faster sections of motorway and coming off the ferry, although the front did feel significantly wandery on faster bends.
I know I remember reading a car magazine report where the early Tuscans suffered from 'stretch' marks on the rear flanks when the boot was overloaded, how and why this happened and was resolved I don't know though.
