Cant beat it mate, always regret it half way up a hill mind!

Didnt get on with the 19s mate, so sold them on already! Roads are too poor to enjoy the car with them on round here, was driving like miss daisy every where looking after them and couldn't enjoy the car. Its a shame because ive always wanted a set

You need one with an engine!!
Much more fun, but you wouldn't get four on top of an E90!

after years of struggling with the awful roof rack/bike rack i've gone for a detachable tow bar and a rack. So much better/easier/quicker to use.

I wonder if I should use a roof rack for my fishing rods? They are the only things that don't fit in my boot.
