After all, they make lifts large enough to support a touring bus or semi-truck and trailer, so depending on how full the racks are, I guess the answer might be "a lot"? :) That said, if you have racks of Fujitsu Eagles mounted inside a truck, don't try to move the truck with drives spinning. Someone once tried that here and then had to bring in a crane... It might be easier to stack the Alfas though ;)

Sadly we drive on the left in the UK so there is a large hole in the left hand side front foot well where the steering column and foot controls are designed to go. They move the controls to the right and put a plate over it to keep the water out....... but this still filled with water. The cars owner could never decide if it was coming in through gaps round the edge of the plate, or because the Sun Roof leaked and the water flowed down into his foot well......

A completely off topic comment, but my Alfa (1985 GTV6) has very little rust but I suspect both Alfasuds I've owned went to the rust gods many years ago - cheap recycled Russian steel IIRC.
