After putting it off as long as possible the day has come when I am forced to get my nice clean car covered in
s e as some gormless 16 year old wraps a wet muddy dead tree in a sprout bag and I have to wedge it in the back of my beautiful car.

Usually we take two cars as my wife and two kids accompany me in convoy ensuring that something that resembles the trafalgar square tree will bend into the boot ensuring mud and crap equally covers the ceiling lining as well as both side windows, but alas the wifes faithful runaround is dead, and we will all make the joyous trip together...hooray!

So with two kids in the back and one seat laid flat, what is the biggest xmas tree you have managed to shoehorn into your freelander ?

p.s, Bah Humbug !! _________________

I managed to gt a 5' tree in the back diagonally yesterday with the seats down. Rather glad I got a rubber mat from Dan at Duckworths now  Foraging near Gaydon....

This is also when it's handy to have a towhitch fitted, trailer + tree = no limit.

No way would I put a tree in my car, Xmas would be cancelled first.

EY + 1

I got a 7ft one in the boot and when I got back all I had to do was take it out of the box and screw it together.

Well I'm away at sea so the wife and children went off to get one yesterday - normally she will stick to using her clio but as it was muddy she decided to take mine...
Apparently our tree is 7' and it went inside... Why not take the trailer - "I dont know how to drive with a trailer" was the answer...

Cant wait to get home on Tuesday - not quite sure what I'll find!

Fake tree for me!

+ 1 for fake, unbox plug in and throw sparkly On it

Fake for me, can't see the point of something that takes about ten years to grow, then chopped down to sit in a bucket for a month then dumped.

Fake tree saves you a whole day every year of your life - lowering seats, driving to the place, choosing and rowing about the thing, ramming it in beloved car, driving home, emptying car, finding bucket and bricks / tree stand, replacing seats and then vacuuming car, hallway and lounge - best £60 I EVER spent !! FL2 HSE Auto Galway Green
