I had one of these, utter rubbish…had to mod the fastners as they broke.
I sold the estate (volvo, plenty of room??) and got a VW T4 2.5TDi. Opened my eyes, faster commute (London to Chesterfield) 85/90 cruising, bikes x4 in the back in under 60secs. MUCH better/safer driving position, see problems in advance over car drivers roofs.
Why I deliberated for so long is beyond me – perhaps it was the ‘Van-Man’ thing?
Honestly, forget the car and buy a nice VW with a tailgate – it really is the way forward; most of my outdoor colleagues own a van and have been ripping the p1ss out of me for years….now I can see why. In fact, I’m waiting to upgrade to the T5 Sportline.
You will wonder what the hell you’ve been doing; suffering an ache in the back whilst leaning over car-seats, faffing and getting wet in the car park post ride.
Enjoy those cold fingers this winter 😛 😉
That’ll be me getting changed in the dry 😛 😛 😉
