Tomorrow we go camping for a week, and find out if we are clever or stupid, because we are taking our new Fiat Panda.  No problem you might think but this is the list of thing's we are taking:

Khyam xxl classic, ground sheet's, table with fixed chairs, fold out table, airbed's x 4,sleeping bag's x 5, pillow's, coleman dual fuel stove, gas stove, clothe's for 5 people, 2 folding chair's, cool box, windbreak,rechargable lights, saucepan's and utensils, water carrier, baseball bat and ball game's for the kid's, and lot's more I have probably forgotten.

We are cheating slightly as we have a small trailer, but this little car is going to be earning it's keep tomorrow.

ooop's forgot the main ingredient.... Beer and Wine....

Hope you have a fantastic time - let the little people sit on the sleeping bags and that will free some space ;)

I thought we were bad loading the Jeep to the rafters, but at least we've got 4.0L of pure American gas guzzlin iron draggin us along, oh but we've got 4 bikes strapped to the back too, and more gear by the looks of it. Damn, looks like we'll have to leave the Swingball at home lol

Years ago we used to load our metro up, trailer & roof-rack too and had some fantastic times so I wouldn't worry about it, just stick to the speed limits & drive safely.

Have a great time!! Where are you going?

I thought 3 folks in a polo was a tight squeeze. but 5 you will be glad to get there so you can breathe!!!!! Have a great time. at least the tent is big enough to use as a garage for the Panda and you could sleep in the car !!!!

have a great holiday

We take so much stuff for the two of us in our Golfthat all I have is a gap so I can see a small square out of the back window.

With the rate I buy stuff at I'm going to have to get a 4x4 or an estate pretty soon, god knows what'll happen when we have kids.

You should see us when we arrive on site in my Capri! The only window you can see out is the front. It doesn't matter what the campsite looks like, its just such a relief to get out of the car.

I will suggest to my husband about using the Khyam as a garage for the Panda, brilliant.

We are going to Woodhill park East Runton, we love it there.

The worst is yet to come.......the return journey is usually worse, because you've got all the stuff that you bought whilst on holiday, to fit in somewhere.

Only just fits, roof fully (over)loaded.

We are going away soon , getting ready at the monent.

where are we going to put everything? (tables, chair, tent, fridge for beer)

We need a trailer?.
