Car roof boxes

[Tazz]

They're cheap as on tardme. Grab a tray/rack, grab some roof racks (Thules seem to be the shizzle), copulate them and you're done =)

Mostly muppets who sold the car they are off and wanting new prices for them. When they have been relisted a few times the price drops like a stone.
Prices a little higher in good weather.

BUT, you can transport your dead hooker in it.

That's how I dispose of the bodies too ...


I've seen a few taken off at the entrance of the owners garage ...

Bit of blood and bone...

and don't forget the gross feeders... rhubarb especially

Hookers love roses the boxed kind - gotto love those hookers (not the seal kind)

Not just parking building, garages too, watch for those with a dip at the entrance

As said, they can be tricky to load. Usually side opening, so you're standing on a door sill or suchlike, but the opposite side is almost impossible to reach, and you can't get to it from the other side because of the hinge.

Family have one, used very sparingly over the last decade or two (the wide boxy one, not long and thin), but handy when you suddenly need to haul it out and carry something. Had relatives visit, we could chuck it on top of a van, put the bedding stuff in it etc.

The leading edge is a good bug catcher too, and obviously as said, watch your increased height, put a tag on the steering wheel or something.

As Gremlin has said I have a laminated label that sits inside the box (have to go into the box to lock it onto the roof anyway). As soon as I put it on the roof of the car and open it to lock it in place, I retrieve the sign and put it on the dash as a reminder. Take the box off and return the sign to the box. Works well for me. and can certainly save those moments.

I often chortle at the cars with bikes up top - it conjures up memories of "Good Bye Pork Pie" when they drove into the garage in Dunedin!

My brother has done it twice, when he talked to the insurance company they told him they get a couple a week.

Never done it myself with either the roof box or the bikes, have remembered at the last minute a couple of times and had some awkward reversing to do though

Yep, on bike forums it seems to happen often enough. Worst is the husband watching as the wife drives in, splat, 5 figures in bikes destroyed

Kinda the reason I'm hesitant to lend out my van to mates. Unless they're used to tall vehicles, you don't think twice before driving into the height clearance bar....

Are you 'mates' - just as dense - as your missus then..

Must make you feel like a bloody MENSA candidate..eh, fella..

Stupid is as stupid does, like the pissed idiot from the toff's school up on the open-top double-decker bus..
..who got his block knocked "clean off" ( refer Dirty Harry) by 'sky larking' when a motorway bridge rudely ( & fatally) interrupted his shenanigans.. Doh!
