brillomaster Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 i'm gonna start the bidding at 9 bags. 2 in the rear boot, 4 in the passenger seat area and 3 in the frunk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher2110 Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Are you hoping to increase rear traction like that old TG episode with the ropey 3Series 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you can stack higher than 4 on passenger seat, not hopeful on fast bendy bits though! 🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart21UK Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 I carried rolled up lawn turf in my XR2, wheels touching arches back in the day (back seats down and fully loaded) and have probably had 3 or 4 bags of compost in the Boxster at some point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperPaulie Posted May 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 The answer is... At least 10. 5 in the back, 5 in the front. Could have got another 3 or 4 in the front probably. I guess with one in the footwell and 4 on the seat, you'd be getting close to 20. Might effect the handling and brakes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfirstboxster Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Ok , based on a standard size 20kg Cement bag of 450x300x130 , I recon you cold squeeze 16 bags in , 5 in the boot - 3 laid front to rear and 2 laid length ways on top of those 6 in the frunk, 4 stacked on top of each other and 2 bags stood on their ends . 5 in the passenger foot well , 3 laid down 2 laid on their sides But given how flexible a bag of cement can be you might be able to wedge a few more in . (disclaimer -don't complain to me about broken springs etc ) 😄 Edited May 19, 2021 by myfirstboxster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemist Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) More efficeint if you take the cement out of the bags... if it rains you'll have the fastest cement mixer in history too. Edited May 19, 2021 by archemist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninesomething Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Never bought a bag of cement that didn't leak fine dust everywhere so the answer is none as stated above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put each bag in its own plastic bag before taking to the car, job done. Braking distances increased somewhat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninesomething Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 That would work..... Still not doing it though - I need any it'll go in the dogmobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
