:eek: Hiya,
I am taking the beat out of Cornwall for only the 3rd time since I got it and the 1st time since I rebuilt it and am headed south of france, Spain, Italy and possibly Greece, so storeage comes to mind! It seems ideally designed for the journey as there is plenty of room for a small tool kit, spare bulb set, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, pair of triangles, blue and yellow stars on my number plates, and pair of council workmens jackets, Europe insists we need! now the question comes up as to where can I put my bag? I dont want it on the passenger seat! I thought of a metal boot rack but don't like the extra height when a bag is on it. Has anyone out there had any experience with these strap on ones from bootracks http://www.bootracks.co.uk/original.html ? if so what do you reckon. Looks to me like they will fold up quite nice under the bonnet in a poly bag when not being used. Thoughts anyone?
Cheers

Nick

Thanks Tado, I see a lot of those used by the surfing community here and they are useful for their sticks (boards) but not much else.
