Carrying Bikes on a Audi TT...

TheBigYin

Okay, I realise this might be a long-shot, but a Hairdresser Friend (you couldn't make it up, could you...) of mine has asked me if there's any way to carry her and her Daughters on the back/roof of the car when she goes on holiday in a couple of weeks... because, of course, if I ride a bike I must be some sort of expert on these things (which I'm not, mine goes in the back of the works estate car)

As far as I can see it's down to sticking some roof bars on there (doubt she's going to go for a towbar fitting...) or perhaps one of those seasucker things...

it's a 2005 model TT Coupe if that makes any difference... I know if it'd been the 2006 version Saris do one of the "bones" rearmount ones.

Just wondered if anyone on here has a TT of this era, and if they had any first hand recommendations...

No idea about racks but could you ask her to use her indicators please

pretty sure the only bit of cockpit aparatus she uses apart from the stop and go bits is the mirror, and that's only for checking she's done her face correctly, but i'll try and explain...

Again, cheers - I'll give it a look (or, more likely, send her the link and tell her to go ask herself - i've signed up to too many damned forums as it is...
