I did carry an 11ft board too on those 'bars' but have no pics. Not sure whether it made a difference but it was always in a bag.

Here is my more hacked setup as mentioned above. I chose this route because I wanted to be able to pop the top but I'd highly recommend the Thule bars if you don't need that - I had them on my previous tin top and they were rock solid.

I never found any roof rack that would fit without making holes in the roof which I was reluctant to do so in the end I used 2 large ratchet straps which hooked on each side of the pop top and covered the middle bit with those surfboard bar protector tube things (my mind's gone blank on what...

I just used TomTom Go on iOS in Tenerife and I like having my phone off on holidays but discovered you can use it in flight mode and still get GPS! I'm assuming you'll still have your phone in case of emergencies and this is a great way to do it without buying an extra device.

I've got an UBERSECURE pedal lock left from when I had my bus. If anyone wants it PM me and you can have it for a tenner (plus postage if you don't fancy picking it up.

Nailed it.

I've got to say, in my experience, they really are through the roof. :roll:

Hopefully - if the reality matches the dream! We're still doing the maths.

Thanks for the positive comments - the plan is now to look at a move to Oz. The wife has a job lined up so now we just need to look at whether it's a move that will make our lives better or whether that's just us dreaming! 8)
