From now on I will remember to prop something up in the middle of it when it's empty and parked at a campsite so that water flows off it, rather than puddling. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19739#post-311126 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 13:59:15 +0000 acsimpson 311126@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Random but relevant triva: The Finish call these boxes mother in law carrying boxes. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19739#post-311112 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 11:04:47 +0000 steveo 311112@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you'd ever met my mum you'd understand! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19739#post-311110 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 10:25:10 +0000 gembo 311110@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@steveo, can’t your mum have a seat in the car like everyone else, why’d ya have to put her in the roof box? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19739#post-311108 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 10:04:04 +0000 steveo 311108@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>cheers weezee I managed to buy one, its enormous and I thought way too big but my mum has managed to fill it! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19739#post-311096 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 00:46:44 +0000 weezee 311096@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Stevo, if NiallA's offer doesn't work out, let me know.

Only problem is that I’m not in edinburgh at the mo - back late Saturday night. If a Sunday rv worked, then maybe ok?</p> <p>I don’t actually now own a car, so you’d have to come to me, sorry!<br /> Niall </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19739#post-310893 Wed, 17 Jul 2019 15:29:43 +0000 steveo 310893@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Don't suppose anyone has a roof box they're not using next week? (and would be willing to loan me)</p> <p>My wife, kids and 3 adults are going away for a week to a caravan and with the "occasional" seats up in the qashqai there is no boot to speak off. </p>
