    I use a Hollywood rack.

    Really good, but you need a lightboard too.

    Try Ebay, you can get some bargains...

    I got one from *cough* Halfords *cough*. It was more like £80, but it clips onto the car rather than straps on. If you're going to get any kind of regular use out of it, then thishas got to be the way to go.

    over 6 months of twice weekly use, and still going strong. 1 min to attach to car, 2 mins to attach teh bike.

    Surely you should be looking for the Vauxhall Corsa with the integrated bike rack as the way to go :?: I think that is a brilliant idea, if only Ford would fit it as standard to their Focus range then my company car would actually be useful!

    I have a Nissan Micra of about the same age and I use one of these.

    Easily takes two bikes whilst leaving the lights and numberplate visible.
