    Yes, fascinating isn’t it.

    The posh set-up in the back of those Bentleys on the footballer thread would be useless to me…

    Where am I going to let my camelbak go mouldy?
    Where’s the space for several different pairs of bike shoes and helmets?
    What about my left climbing boot and what seems like hundreds of empty bottles?
    Never mind all the little odds and sods, lights, parts dirty cycling kit. Or the bike.

    I imagine there are a fair few clean freaks though…

    When I worked in a garage we would always play guess what’s in the boot.
    You could always bank on a tartan rug,umbrella and a pair of shoes.
    We had one once that was absolutely rammed full of porn.
