6 large cardboard boxes that fill the boot, wall to wall.
You can put your stuff in them so that it doesn't rattle
around the boot. This protects your stuff and your boot
from damage and spillage.

The boxes are all carefully sized so that they can be fitted
one inside the other and shoved out of the way,  thus using
little room, for when you need to fit a bulky object into the boot.

lol.  ;D if only i could post pictures! one day.......

i haven't seen the bottom of my boot for months - timbuk can confirm that! - my life is also in there. just had a peek and found several empty water bottles from previous oil cooler/hbv probs. several spanners, wrenches, a maglite, two socket sets, a couple of boiler suits, jump leads and a towrope. many spare household lamps, three bags of wires and cables, a bag of invoices and catalogues, about 25 spare car bulbs, some car cleaning stuff and a couple of tins of 'parts to be sorted'. A few costume items lurk in there somewhere, and there's a nice picnic blanket and even a waterproof cover for the back seat for when big dirty things need to be there. lol :D

and a roll of gaffa tape. fix anything that!!  :y

gotta get it empty for the weekend trip to leicester and then dorset! :O
and to improve fuel economy in the future!!!
