What Fits In A Focus??

Featured Replies

So, I'm moving next week... And will be doing the moving myself. I have had several workhorse cars before, large hatches and estates that I filled up on a daily basis with a trailer for overflow, but not put anything bigger than a lawn mower in the Focus yet and no longer own a trailer. So wondering what actually fits in a Focus hatch? Mk2/2.5 ideally but any humorous pictures of objects in your car that really don't fit are more than welcome, fridges, beds, wardrobes maybe? :D I must admit I'm not impressed by the way the rear seats don't fold flat, thinking that may cause some issues but we'll see.

Cheers

Tom

Not bad! All at the same time would've been impressive lol.

30 clowns should be achievable as long as they are flexible!:rolleyes::D

8 dead hookers, axe and a shovel..

4 Doors Fit More Whores :)

I've fit a whole single bed in to mine when transporting it for sale,

Also fitted a Toyota Levin BZR boot panel, windscreen and side skirts on a separate occasion.

Another time i fit a pregnant bird and two kids,

Most recent cargo is three kids, wife, buggy, 10" sub, weekly grocery shop and myself we be rollin like iraquis in a white Hilux with a shizzle load A bass!!

I don't tend to carry whores tbh, but yeah 5 door ftw... I've never been a fan of 3 doors myself, impractical and awkward in car parks!

Not sure I can beat your current cargo! :lol:

its great for streaming Spotify to your phone then via Bluetooth to the headunit,

The router supports up to 8 devices at once and plugs in to USB socket emitting the WiFi signal :)

My home wifi is also via sim card so i use this router in the house via 240V usb adaptor

Then when in the car i plug it in to the socket I've installed in the glovebox.

Its called a Huawei Buzzard i imported it unlocked from ebay uk via parcelmotel sorry to have gone off topic mate,

Some cars have twin turbo,

Mine has 4G :lol:

You can only get 28 in a mini though and i thought some of them might have wanted to bring a +1 :D

Hire a van! Not expensive nowadays. I had a nearly brand new transit recently, I think it was about £50. Less stress and less trips!

Haven't tried fitting a great deal into my Focus yet so can't comment otherwise.

how long was that for ? where i am it would be that per hour

Take the rear seats out so the back rest drops flat hence gaining an extra 6/8 inches easily get a fridge cooker washer in there bit of a squeeze all at once though.

I hired a transit van from Northgate Van Hire for around £40 for 24hrs.

I can't hire a van due to my age, have to be 25 most places it seems! Plus you have to pay for fuel on top of the rental as well.

I don't have a huge amount to take anyway, should do it in 3 trips I think, 20 miles each way, be about a tenner in fuel.

I managed to fit two 7'6 surfboards and one 6'4 surfboard in my old focus titanium mk2.5 when heading down to cornwall; last august I managed the 3 boards, 2 dogs, wetsuits, two 70L duffel bags and a suitcase plus other bits and bobs for a 3 week trip.

I used ratchet straps between the handles on the roof to lift the noses up of the boards, completely blocked my rear view mirror but thats why wing mirrors are for right?

Ahaha at the 4 doors comment, that's why I'm getting a Focus!

And I'll give you a +1 for the 10" sub with a shizzle load of bass!

lol cheers Dave,

If purchasing a sub, you may like to view my content on this other thread: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/71093-suggestions-for-sub/?p=491457

It was for 24 hours, popped a tenner of diesel in afterward as I was feeling generous. It must have only used a fiver's worth tops. Swindon Car and Van that was. The age thing could be tricky though.
