100% agree.
There could ALWAYS be just a bit more room for this, or for that. Often times you find out how much room you really don't have when the weather comes rolling in.

Another vote for them.
We went with them last year and they were so easy to deal with, I can't see why we wouldn't go again this year. |

No drama on my account, I have no idea what ours weighs, but I can't help feel we need to shed a little weight somewhat.
I don't think the brownchurch roof rack does us any weight favours either : ... |

Sounds like a great deal.
I've been looking at the sp4x4 ones, very tempted, the bottoms of ours are well and truly gone. |

Pay price including vat upon collection
Alucab is considerably heavier and increases the height to the extent that a 110 won't fit in the garage

Please don't scrap it!
I'd love a 130 one day and a 300 would be dreamy! The more heading to the offroad course in the sky the harder they'll be to get hold of! |
