Mondeo estate seems to be the thumbs up at the moment. Hopefully it wouldn’t be as thirsty as my work transit connect tdci, 450 miles to £70 of fuel!!!!
I had roof bars on my 330 touring as the boot was so small I couldnt even fit the bike in it with seats up unless I took wheels and post out! Even with seats down I had to take front wheel out! No better than the little 118d!!!
What’s the tax on the mondeo? Still like the idea of the octavia vas though, although reading up on them, the mark1 seems to be a bit troublesome.

Wow, that was sone interesting reading…….
Firstly, the work van is a no no. I work for southern water so once the van is home each day it can’t go out again. Weekends come under same rule. I’ve blagged it a few times by having the bike with me and stopping for ride on way home! Bloody tracker!!!!!
Secondly, I’m not trying to replace it with something as fun as the scoob, don’t get me wrong, it has to be relatively interesting to drive, but cheap to tax and insure etc. It’s just a weekend car for bike at end of the day. The 1 series is our family car so the other one is purely for me.
I did look at octavia vrs hatchback, and Volvo t5’s. The police thing is always a good sign, traffic cops carry a he’ll of a lo of kit in a hurry!!!! 😆

Ooh, good choices. The mondeo tdci sounds good. I had an e46 300 touring and I loved it, but the boy racer in me needed something silly again. Can’t justify something that expensive anymore though.
The towbar thing is a possibility, but having the imprezza just for bike transport isn’t what I’m after. As much as I love it, it’s a lot of money sitting there and I’d rather see it get used.

And yes, clarkson must be obeyed. Wonder if Thule make a carrier for a veyron………….

I trimmed mine with a normal pair of kitchen scissors as it’s very thin aluminium.
I did try to get a 31.6 shim but everywhere said out of stock, even rang USE as they are local to me, but no luck.
Sorry guys, didn’t mean to waste anyone’s time, just trying to offer a solution to a problem.
