Looks cool Tom.
Not fancy going for the 300 bike carrying record?

Three on the roof, two on the hatch and five on the back!!? :lol:

Ten bikes? Should be do-able: 4 on the roof, 4 on the back, 2 in the boot :-) But I'm not hanging anything from the hatch again, I used one of those carriers for a while but it damaged one of the boot lid hinges ...

Now I need to find other things to tow with my new towbar. A caravan, a boat maybe? ;-)
And then ...

More tow bar pics. It's rapidly turning into my favourite accessory :-)

Didn't fancy climbing back up the slope with the trailer though, so the wood had to go in the 300. Of course, it coped admirably ;-)

It just about fitted into a McDrive entrance :shock: A Paddy Hopkirk roof rack would have completed the picture of course ;-)

I reckon I was towing around 6- 700KG. A 360 is allowed to pull 1200KG - I can't imagine that being much fun on a longer journey ...

Thanks Mark :-) Yeah, I like those square lamps too. Pity they're so wobbly, dispite the proper mounting brackets :?
