Morning all

After toying with the idea of selling my car to get something bigger to fit my little one in and all our stuff for going away for weekends etc, I've now slapped myself upside the head and decided it's a silly idea.

What I want now is a roof box, but know fook all about them. Don't need anything too big or high (my mrs is a midget), just something to throw a few holdalls and maybe a small pram in. any suggestions then? I take it I'll need some roof bars, then a box to attach to those.

Cheers

Rich

Ideally, you want the box to take your lightweight stuff, with the heavier things travelling in the car itself.

This helps avoid the car becoming top-heavy, and it is easier to load!

We bought our from Halfords in one of their sales (can't remember if it was 33% or 50% off), but DON'T pay full price ever - we haggled on ours and got some more off.
