So just got in from the tesco shopping popped the boot on the VX (yes i shop in the VX, enought food for 2 for 4 weeks ;) ) anyway really strong smell of sweetness hits me in the face and i think oh sh** not again, ANOTHER problem :( so in a panic i start looking about for signs of water/coolant ect, unsure on the origin and im now getting cold, decide to unpack the shopping, on the third and final trip i grab the bottle one of the 4 Lemonades and its all soft.. the fcuker has burst all over my boot :saw: so apart from making sure electrical bits are dry, is there anything else to worry about? on another note/warning. lemonade needs to go next to the bulkhead where there is nothing sharp :beat:

That's what I was thinking! Haha

Erm, I'd just wipe up with some APC to clean it all up.

It's not the amount of shopping you can fit in that I'd be surprised at, it's leaving the VX parked in a crowded Tesco car park with careless parking and shopping trolleys etc all around you. :huh:

ps: A month's shopping for two, in the boot, seriously?!? You two don't eat much! :lol:
