    Talking How to get your purchases home

    Love this Easter Island roof rack. Held in place by ropes going in the door and tied with an ugly knot inside.

    Is that so it slides a little better next time he rolls it ???

    Doesn't seem to keen on keeping the roof flat anyway. Nice Pic

    Reminds me of a bloke we have here in town who tried a similar idea in that he tied long bits under his car and tried to drive home from the mill - all was fine until he had to stop abruptly at a red light - the old physics "a body in motion etc"........... you guessed it - all over the intersection

    There's something to be said about tow bars and trailers.
