Hi Guys,

Are there any good options for breaking up the boot space as the shopping just keeps on rolling around everywhere?

Thanks

I had a horizontally clipped luggage net out of my Skoda (sorry, cheap Audi A4 :fuelfire: ) that I clipped to the 4 loops in the boot floor. Kept everything in place nicely. Jut put shopping under the net and problem solved.. :D

Halfrauds do a sort of organiser thingy that you can divide up the boot with. There's also a similar BMW System, but probably at an obscene price!!

I never really had a problem as....well....er....my wife.....well, she always managed to fill the boot up somehow.. :cry:

Or there's always that option I agree :thumbsup:

We do that more and more now, especially if delivery is free. We certainly now get a well known supermarket to deliver weekly. Saves a lot in time and fuel.
