to everyone who gave me advice on roofboxes. My handiholdall arrived today so a huge thanks for this suggestion. OH loves it cos it trakes up hardly any room in the garage....... which is good given that I have a huge pile of camping stuff taking up a fair chunk of space in there.

OOOoo roof box advice - can someone point me at that thread? Thinking of investing if we have any hope of getting the dog the car for a trip!

We used our handirack & holdall for the first time last week too, and love it! Brilliant idea, especially for people like us with a small car who might buy a new car in the next yr or so as it'll fit most cars .

We used our handirack and roofbag a few weeks ago and it was a life saver. I can now see out the back window (albeit a small bit!) which was better. We went to Isle of Man on the ferry and back with no problems with it at all.
I would advise having a practice run on putting it on the car though.
------------- I don't need it...I'm not buying it....but I really WANT it!
