It depends rather whether you put the slabs behind or in front of the
rear wheels. If they're in front of the rear wheels then I think you
can quite legitimately load the car up to its maximum permitted
weight. The car is an XM hatchback, i.e. it's a big car, and I will
lower the back seats and put the slabs where the back seats were.

The MGW assumes that the load is distributed rather more evenly than that.
Personally, I would have the slabs delivered, even though I have a van that
would take the lot in one go.
