Wow! That means I can put more stuff in mine. :giggles  But I'm head right out there now with a measured pail of water to verify this, Robert, if I can fill one faster than the patched holes leak out.
Dry uncooked rice is less messy (funerary urn makers method. One lb of um ... live weight = 1 cubic inch of cremains).

With the added benefit you can have the rice for dinner.  :hehehe

Cremains. That's a great word! I need to use it at the next barbecue. "I can't finish my second helping. Who wants these cremains?" 

Water can only help the interior of those cases. :giggles

...... one side case will easily hold the contents of the standard, brown-paper grocery bag commonly found in the grocery stores under the spacious skies above the purple mountain's majesty, the amber waves of grain and the fruited plains.


Sadly we usually use plastic bags here in our sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains.

But they fit too :)

How do those wombats know if they are North from South?  Is there a DMZ between the two areas?

You can tell them by their accents. Northern ones also have longer nose hair.

Looks like I'm a northern wombat.  Who'da thunk?

Please refer to page 9 in this BMW Accessory Brochure from John's Garage for the capacity details.  The City Case is 0.7cu.ft. and the System 3 Case is 1.23 cu.ft. PER CASE.


I apologize for getting the decimal point in my metric conversion wrong; I rarely work in US units of measure.  Using a better volume conversion tool so that I don't throw off the decimal point, the City Case is 20 litres and the System 3 Case is 35 liters PER CASE.


Thanks RBM - no worries... so 40 litres v 70 litres for both? Quite a difference really..
