Ok got the PC so you can see tomorrow...
sorry the messy picture but please DO notice the overhang of the Thule bars... Actualy I ithink this was the VW Transporter size/width and I had to rework (cut) it so it woud fit the norrower BMW... great car and amazing engine. I was able to go 200km/h with this setup! to be honest only shortly and not with a good feeling...

actually check out the setup I went to Italy for 2+3 months
so still on this trip (and I fully LOVED THAT CAR!) I got my Discovery 5... almost 2x trunk space, from something like 600litres to something close to 1150litres...
However: some thule Box but at that time not yet with the surfboard on top... that actually seems to be real eye catcher!

Brilliant - same page, have to have room for toys, nice set up! Don't have pics however used to have 4 bikes on the back of the LR3, 3 on the roof and a Thule 1800 Ski box. We got a Sequoia for towing & went to 4 bikes on the back and 4 on the roof. I swear we looked like a Tour de France support vehicle. The carbon road bikes on the roof were pretty light however did use a third cross bar just in case.

Europe - of course, I was going to ask where you hit 200KM/H! We only got up to 160KM on secondary BC, WA & ID highways.

I'll have to Google this out.
