I had a look...I think I can get the 'rack in at an angle... *lol*

I'll take my chances. :)

I have a ladyfriend going with...she can sit in the back and hold it outside. *grin*

No towbar.

Yup, spoke to him. All sorted.

At the broad end, it would be.

The rack sits in the roof rails.

I also reckon so Chris. :)
