How packed have you had ur RX-8?

I think I'm working on a new record.
I'm moving from Northern Alberta (Fort Mac) to Vancouver (BC).
I don't own much stuff (So I thought)

but I have two large telescopes
1 LX200 12" (320lbs) complete tripod and astrophysics equipment setup (+10G)
1 10" Dobsonian
All my text books
All my clothes
Laptop
And a bunch of stuff I had no idea I owned!

Driving 15-18 hours!
Just enough room for a pilot!

I gotta show you pictures... SHE'S STUFFED!!!!!!
I can see out my passenger mirror so Im good to go

Anyone else ever pack it up?

Im leaving my company so I had to return the company truck..Not used to not owning something with room hehehe

I loaded my 8 up pretty good when moving a few years ago, but my spare tire blocked out my trunk pretty badly so I couldn't overload it too extremely. I still did a pretty good job though - I know I've piled the passenger seat up to the ceiling on a couple occasions.

That's hard to beat!

My record so far:

Had to pack for a weekend trip to my friends wedding and for a track-day

- A full set of tires (4 track tires)
- 2 Hydraulic floor jacks
- Helmet, overall, etc. trackday stuff
- Suit, shoes, clothes etc for three days for me and my girlfriend

Three day trip, about 1000 miles of driving. Good thing that i had the tires delivered to the race-track so i only had to bring them back with us.

See the video of the track day:

Too bad that weather was a bit rainy...

people:
2 adult passengers
2 kids in car seats

stuff:
2 rolling suitcases
2 laptop cases
1 playpen
1 diaper bag
2 backpacks filled with kids closes
1 metal 12"X10"X10" toiletry case
2 collapsable chairs

couple of bottles of wine and random drinks

Loading all that stuff felt like a game of Tetris, but I got it all in there. We went on a trip to TN/NC and left the kids in Orlando with my parents, so we weren't quite as packed once we unloaded the kids and their stuff.

Do we REALLY need another RX8 in Vancouver???? Damn, they're getting more common than 911's....

lol!


Welcome, and have a good drive. Watch your speed!!!! I've noticed :ahem: aggressive enforcement in the Okanagan and Vancouver area this summer.

When you get here, join the BC RX8 club. It's only $20, and I hear you get a keen sticker (if I ever get mine, that is....).

You've all got me beat. The only big things that I have ever moved in it are my bicycle, which I take often, a airconditioning unit that I bought at Sears and put in the passenger seat, box and all, much to the shock of the salesman, and the rear axle, rotor to rotor, for a 1967 Alfa Romeo. Not all at the same time.
