Ikea flat pack test - part failed!

Another box ticked - went to Ikea and purchased 2 flat pack sets of Malm chests of drawers today - the 2 boxes of 3 drawer sets fitted no problem.
I wanted a 1.60m long 6 drawer pack but that meant I needed an assistant to help lift the very heavy crates in and out of the car and also the front passenger seat would have had to support the weight and I didn't want 40-50 kgs leaning on the forward folded Plus seat, so 2 x 3 drawer sets it was, with tons of space left for some other bits and pieces I bought, no folded seats.

Next test is Thursday - 3 passengers, 2 in their mid 80's to take for a run.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

I'll feed the rear seat passengers in through the boot, the electric tailgate is quicker................

Leave them on the 'social seating'?

I would if it were available, but it's one of the options that LR hasn't yet released I believe

Hilarious! The rear seating of my Audi TT was for individuals shorter than four feet eleven without legs Shocked (I called it the poodle/terrier shelf), so the Evoque is still far, far superior!

Evoque fan who used to drive Shocked a Pure, Fuji, 19" style 4 alloys, heated everything, rear cam, power tailgate, pan roof, privacy glass etc

You can always pick them up with the seats already moved to the front and your face squeezed to the windscreen, right?

Tim, have you ever thought of starting a blog? That way you can write as much as you like about washing your car, putting Ikea furniture on your car, having passengers in your car etc etc. without having to clog up this forum with endless new threads.
