3 Boxers and a Newf, in and out of the car.
Its your car, so you set the rules, but a company called Boot liner make great covers that cover just about the whole of the rear area, add the pull up net and your set.
Enjoy.

If you want total piece of mind re the keys, get the stealer to change all the lock barrels at their cost, that way not only are the old keys no good to start the car due to them re coding the keys, but they cant open the doors any more either.

I have a feeling she will like it. You like your Atom Mike ? I had one for a year and still miss it dearly. Wife is not too keen on me having another one after going into a hedge and out! I spoke to Tom at the factory recently and i'm very tempted to join the club again. What can I say, not the mos...
