Anyone here got a towbar-mounted bike rack?
I'm not as posh as youstevenb said:What car did you get Dave? Is there a rack sold by the manufacturer.
I'm hoping to get me a Merc C220 CDI in october time possibly......and I'm sure they do a proper bike rack....will have to check at work.....
If you go for a Merc-specific one, be prepared to cough up rather more dosh than is sensible - the mark-up is horrendous. And you don't actually *need* a Merc-specific one. Honest. There's no adverse affects to my Merc using a non-Merc-specific one.stevenb said:What car did you get Dave? Is there a rack sold by the manufacturer.

I think mine is a 2 cycle one. And it will not be expensive if Dave wants it! Packing and postage will be the "expense" I think...Rhythm Thief said:I used to use a two bike Pendle rack on the back of a Citroen 2CV, of all things. Absolutely brilliant, and if you can find one secondhand, they're not that expensive.

I work for Mercedes-Benz so I get 17.5% discount. It's the only reason I'd get one mind! I can have it kitted up to my spec. Its that or lease one for £180 a month...which I think is an utter waste....wafflycat said:If you go for a Merc-specific one, be prepared to cough up rather more dosh than is sensible - the mark-up is horrendous.

I remember getting a quote from the local Merc-dealer when I wanted one for mine. I fell about laughing and suggested to the dealer that they go into comedy as they were very good at taking the p!$$.
can we have an MG -v- MX5 war on here ? I'm getting closer to the MX coupe with the 2l and all the toys. Shame as I have some really good friends and trips with MG.yoyo said:I sometimes wish I could fit a tow bar to my car but ...

Our sentiments exactly - just substitute MG for the best roadster in its class - the MX5 Mark II (mark IIIs look like ordinary cars). Roll on lovely summer days!
