Years ago in a TSOA Newsletter (US arm of the group) there was an article
about someone who traveled around Europe (I think) in a well-packed
Spitfire. There was a photo of the car with all that had been packed
inside spread around the car, to get the point across. And it DID get the
point across, as the display looked a bit like the ENTIRE contents of my
garage. Creative packing goes a long way!
