how much have you carried in / on your car?

Back in the UK my first car was an Anglia van, I bought a wooden shed off a mate. It probably weighed 250 / 300 kg and I put it on my roofrack. needless to say the roofrack collapsed and the roof never looked the same again. but I got it home. took 3 of us to lift it on / off.
And a couple of years ago here in Melbourne I had a Camira wagon, I was given some wooden planking. put it on the roofrack, as I was going down Fertree Gully Road at Wheelers hill. I got to the bottom, I could see something bouncing above the drivers window. when I looked up the rear rope had come loose and the 5 meter long planks were across (90 degrees) to the car. hanging across the outside lane. thank god the cops were not there!
Tarkus (still an old fart)

My old man used to have one of those camary wagons, we once had around 2 ton of books in the boot to take to Sydney......we didnt make it 
Thats why we bought the Stagea 
(oh and the *cough* Volvo...)
