Will THAT fit in a Clubman?

Alright folks, I wanted to start a thread that should be interesting to prospective Clubman buyers, buyers waiting for their Clubmans to be delivered, and current Clubman owners. The idea is to answer the eternal question..."Will THAT fit in a Clubman?"

To help in this effort, please post pictures of things that you've fit in your Clubman. To keep things consistent, please use the following naming convention preceding your picture:

Yes, a (insert object) WILL fit in a Clubman.

I'll kick things off.

Yes, a 16" boys bike WILL fit in a Clubman. Done with back seats up.

Just a note, not everything has to be "extreme." Although those are always fun...I'm waiting for the guy (forget his handle) that went camping with his two kids to post some pics

Full 5 piece drum set with cymbals and hardware. Took the demo home to make sure everything would fit before I bought it.

I don't have photos because I did it a week ago, but I brought home a table saw from Home Depot.

Was this a dealer installed option? If so, my MA didn't offer it to me. What gives?!

Could this be the source of that mysterious squeaking noise coming from the back of the seats that so many people have talked about in other threads?

I should've been taking pictures over the last few days. I've been moving, so my Clubman has been stuffed to the gills constantly. Yes, a "Solsta" couch from IKEA will fit in the Clubman. Yes, a desk, dining table, two dining chairs, a living room chair, and an ottoman will fit in the Clubman. Yes, 4 guitars, a 1x12 combo, a small file cabinet, and a bunch of clothes will all fit in the Clubman.

It's times like these that makes me glad I went with the Clubman!

Tim You already have one of your own. That may be why the dealer did not offer you this FREE option.
