That duck photo

Need yourself a set of black ramps, instead of the blue ones!

What he really needs is to get his wallet out and be the first customer to have the new SoLow self levelling air suspension installed!

New purchase ready for Cornwall. Fed up of having the board slid under the rib bed , so thought I’d try the sucker pad style racks ! Means I can take them off really easy and fast (and it keeps it at the correct height to get it in the garage!)

 

[CALLAKN]

Oh! And they’re compatible with my Thule attachments !

I hope you won't be reversing up the hard shoulder after it falls off at 70mph

I'd forgotten about the sucker racks. That would be handy for putting watersports type stuff on top of the van. I've heard good things about them, even saw someone using one vertically of the tailgate of their van. Post an update when you've used it

That's brave.

I could hang off glass on one sucker pad - and there’s 6 on.

Just think what applications they use these same sucker pads in - lifting very large heavy glass pains into place … etc etc

Really impressed with the technology ! They’ve tested them at 185mph and been ok!

which sucker rack have you got? Vacuumrack?

Gone for treefrog, was looking at American brands, seasucker and another, then noticed these… arrived next day !

All I can say is - well impressed with the roof rack. Suction mount - no problem above M5 speed limit on the way down to Cornwall - 400miles done so far with them!

Luxury!

Rocketship...

Merry Christmas guys ! Looking after my friends GTI performance with a stage 1 map and a stage 1 dsg software update whilst he’s an Antarctica, thought I’d get the van out for a picture!

 

[Stu007]

FORSALE, I feel they’re 245/55 but could be 235/55 will check tomorrow when I go to the garage.

Need them sold as I’m selling the van… would be willing to do a deal on a set of Devonports.

£1100 ono.
