Wasnt too bad actually as i had it screwed and tied down. Not bad as i made the rack from some wood i found in the skip earlier that morning.
I used a soft-rack which you tie through the doors, cos i do some kayaking here and there, but the back one slipped off the back en-route and has scratched the paint off my roof, you can see how it was resting in the photo..argghhh |

hi PC (Plym Collector) always liked that union jack sign , bigger the better in my books - always worry about signs that size on the roof in case they take off down the motorway , happens to a mattress once ! Have a 7 ft by 3 ft sign arriving this week , opted for Parcelforce - will post a pic once its in position . all best ciggy . |

Alright Ciggy
Yeah i agree, mine is taking pride of place above the bed...of all places, mainly to wind up the Mrs.
Would be good to see a pic, but im looking for one in-situ from the 1920's and that kind of era, cos i can never seem to find an old photo with this sign in it..despite its size...hmm |

Thanks.
Bit of a struggle getting it on but survived 70 odd miles on the motoway.
Been looking for the biggest one of these i could find for ages so dead chuffed with it.
QUESTION FOR AL: Which one of the sides your mate missing for his BP? Just incase i come across it...although chances are slim... |
