How many concrete flags in the boot?
As the title says really. How many 40kg concrete slabs do you reckon I can carry in a G20 at one time without bottoming out the suspension?

At a guess 6 - 7, that would be about the same weight as three passengers

Bottoming out the suspension is only one of your concerns.
Lots of weight at the back = front being high up = far less effective steering. Having done the same with 200kg or so (in the F31, which is a bit more 'designed' to carry stuff in the boot), I can confirm it's not the most wonderful experience. Might only weigh the same as 3 rear seat passengers, but the weight is now slung out behind the rear axle, instead of directly above it |

If anyone is interested I had five bags of builders sand in the boot of my G20 yesterday.
Only wanted two but five minimum order. You're welcome.... |

You'll probably find there's 3 bags worth of loose sand still in there. Gets everywhere doesn't it...
