Hi Guys (and gals if there are any)
As a recent new Forrester owner I wonder if any of you can tell me what the cutout trays under the spare wheel cover are supposed to hold. I seem to have a jack in one and the handle/wheelbrace in anopther but what about the long one just behind the back seat, what the devil is that supposed to take.

BTW I shall be back at my PC tomorrow evening but then away from contact for a week.

An Umbrella!!!

That would be a realy handy place to keep an umbrella.

Lets think now, its raining.

I want to get out of my Forrester, but wait I have an umbrella, I just have to unload the 32 bags of shopping/whatever load from the rear, lift the floor, take out my umbrella, put back the shopping/whatever load.

How convenient?

I don't think so.

Oh, by the way. I tend to be sarcastic at times.

and I sometimes pull the piss.

No!!!!! Reallyyyyyy???????


Oops - now you've got me doing it :twisted:

 

[Tentenths]

Walking poles and/or telescopic fishing rods live in mine.

Mike, is your car a blue S/tb by any chance? If so, I waved at you when we were in Leyburn last November, and you ignored me! Caused no end of amusement with the friends who were with us though; I'd just claimed that Subaru owners are a friendly lot who usually wave back :roll:

I have a tommy bar and fittings to get my wheels off in mine

also a first aid kit in another

 

[karma mechanic]

I'm convinced they are for different types of gun.

 

[oldgit]

My first aid kit lives in one but I've never found a use for long one - but a place for walking poles seems an idea.
Maybe surveyors etc have a use for it?
Waving back in Yorkshire would mean giving something away and I think that's against the local religion :wink:
Retires from thread - quickly :lol:

If only it came with a "mother in law special" rifle....

 

[ferret]

I keep replacement wiper blades and a folding camping stool there for watching my kids play soccor or baseball.

But then the boys in blue would know where to find it :wink:

 

[stevem]

I actually keep my torque wrench in there ....

Hah, just tried an umbrella and the curly handle won't fit.

The middle bit is for one of these:

 

[buckethead]

couple of bungie cords and some rope.

 

[carljwnc]

I keep my hand winch in the long compartment, had to cut away a little of the foam.

Fits nicely and the cover closes all the way.
