I'd like to chip in at this point and say that although this car might in fact be a 'hairdressers car' - surprisingly, you can't get a
third party roofrack for a V-reg VW Polo 5 door!!
I actually bought one of those inflatable racks and they are excellent. They hold up to 80Kgs. If anyone's interested they normally
retail for about £60-£70, but if you go here:

...To finish:
you can get them for about £25. The only problem is if you are driving in heavy rain, because of the way they attach to the car ie.
in through the doors, they do eventually leak water into the car when the straps get saturated.
I have made the trip to Newquay (some 4-5 hours) several times with mine and it holds up great!

...Oh yeah - if you go to that Cookson's site, search for "HandiRack" or "inflatable roofrack"

 Hey BEFAS pretty good you are definitely thinking in the right
direction with the NSX almost but not quite...
Nope not a Probe either Nick sorry or an MG Justal
Penguin you are a star I think I should send you the smarties for finding that rack, I'm going straight to that site to check it out
after I finish this post. I'm still kind of worried about the roof coming off but hey its either give it a go or buy a more sensible
car
Thanks Wolfman

The Handi-rack also comes with a pump to help you inflate it!

I have to admit I don't know alot about cars so none of your hints are much use to me! IT also looks like you're all putting random
letters and numbers in to try and win smarties!
Worth a try

As a serious guess, based on the NSX being close, I'd go with a Celica?

Hi Al,
No I manage to get back quite a bit as I still have a fair few freinds who are lucky enough to still live in Aber - Paul James (Oss
Sensei of the Uni Karate Club) Dan Howells (slaphead) I think everyone in Aber knows Dan, Mark Couch (if you spend any time in the gym
you will have met Mark (BIG!! guy) works in the Physics Dept amongst others. Yea it has changed a bit which is a shame, got a bit
bigger and its never been quite the same since the road to nowhere started going somewhere and they changed the Central and got rid of Norman Bates (aka Psycho) was it still the Central in 94. But
its still essentially the Aber I knew and loved and hey the sea is still the same seem to be a lot more surfers out at the trap though
+ a few cute wahine's which is good to see
Windsurfing was probably my first foray into "adventure" sports used to really love it, not bad but don't get out much these days since
I can't get a roof rack for my current car so not too great either I need an adventure mobile like you have pretty awsome by the way
so much gear its like an aladins cave on wheels!! Got into Surfing in Aber and just started Kite Surfing so very much still learning
but its a blast. Only actually dived off Aber a few times as vis tends not to be too great but hey its an opportunity to get wet so...
Spent quite a bit of time diving up in Dorothea near Tremadog (Erics Cafe?? Climbing, good tea and toast!!) real moody place just for a
walk if not a dive. Did you know Jude Thorogood (Judy) she was DO of the Aber Dive club and I'm sure she did Geol stayed to do a PhD so
she would have been around in 94.
Hi zelwaters, not been to Southport but heard its supposed to be good for all things Kite related I will have to try and make the trip
one of these days
