Not a single item, but helped my sister move from near Amsterdam to Hamburg (ca 500km). Rear seats etc removed, filled from rear legrooms to the ceiling with stuff. Largest item in there was mirror 160x82 diagonally in the middle. Took a while to fill and then empty it afterwards . Some runs with furniture to recycle yard too beforehand.
For me it was 4800+km free round trip. For sister cheaper than sending all by packets or getting movers to do it, especially since i brought back 2 people and plane tickets would already cost more than my whole trip. 1.2 averaged slightly above 3,5l/100km (80mpg uk) for trip in winter...
Did something similar in 2010 when my wife's family farm was being sold. Bought back numerous floor rugs, 2 chairs, loads of books, piles of linen, ornaments plus our 2 suitcases etc. All the important & no £ value stuff 4,000 mile (6,400 km) round trip. I think Fed Ex would have been cheaper!! Only got 62 mpg - have a remap but a longer 5th gear. Must of had a heavy foot on the autobahn - I only got flashed once for being in the way
Your 80 mpg is extremely good. Wait, you have a 1.2. Come on, you should have got 100 mpg
Oh my my, pinch me! I was in a similar situation with the exact same item for my daughter??????Is there a category for largest item you were sure was going to fit into the A2 but then you had to lash to the roof instead?
"Of course it'll fit - the A2's a Tardis..."
If so, I offer ...the Egg chair - a lot bigger than you think once outside the shop.

Fortunately the same shop sold 25 metre lengths of plastic covered heavy duty steel core washing line so 10 mins of intricate lashing cable trough the frame in the car park had it secured. Did get asked if it was an igloo.
The cable looks just the same as that weak green garden twine so other cars kept well away from us on the drive home. Got up to 50 mph and it hadn't moved at all when came to unload.

Exactly what I need to do double mattress to the tipJust taken a kingsize mattress to the dump in mine. Folded in half and bundled in, but it fitted fine.

Beat me to it, I was going to say the ex wife, but thankfully I didn't own an A2 when I was with her, think it may have tainted my love for the car!The mother in law
