Roof Box

I've done something that I never thought I would do...

I needed a way to get extra luggage space and decided to buy a "ROOF BOX"

I did lots of looking around for something aerodynamic that looked ok and the best I found was this





I got it from
www.surfbox.de

I've just got back from France, west coast, had a great time, travelled around 2000 miles in just over a couple of weeks and was able to bring back lots of goodies...

including
5 bottles of Cognac
64 Bottles of Wine
14 Bottles of beer
2 booties (bead spreads)
2 lamp shades
1 antique mirror
lots of food,

also
2 weeks holiday stuff
our toddler
me.... SH*T I forgot the wife...


Before I left I also installed a roadpilot Micro (GPS speed camera locations), installed it myself just above the rear view mirror (the unit is very small), looks great, I'll take some pics of that soon, but that saved me a few times on unfamiliar roads, especially in France.

The roof box was great, I kept it on the car all the time, wind noise was ok though it did get louder over 80mph but was still able to drive >90mph without the wife complaining...

I did see an "M5" black/onyx blue?"Ashok" on the M25 on my way back, I though it was going to catch me up, but he pulled off, anyone on here? roadpilot was going potty due to the variable speed limit cameras, so I just set the cruise control to 70mph till I was past them. Are there really speed cameras on the gantries, it was really annoying...
