  • The roof transport system, great for carrying stuff on the roof and creating the illusion of youth.

    The rear end makes quite a good ramp actually. You should definitely try riding straight onto the roof with a bunny hop to get you on the rear deck.

    If we all had your wonderful sense of humor in this world Nick, there were a lot less tanks and many more Porsche around us!

      Souheib Merge - I wished they had been fitted with roof racks and surf boards instead of canons and driven by people with Nick's mindset!

    Pro tip: Don't forget to take the bike off the roof before you park the car in the garage! ;)

    I have the roof transport system on my 911 in south Florida and really appreciate your tips. I was planning on driving around with skis on the roof, but thanks to your advice about being season aware I'm going to put a kayak on instead!

  • @matt4270

    If they offer a cargo basket option, you could put a 6" lift, and some bigger wheels and all terrain tires on it to make it look like a Paris to Dakar 959. Just a thought.

    Pro tip Nick ;) change side of the bikerack so you can reach the "tightning" wheel for the arm from the passengerside, or flip side of the mounting of the arm, it is easy to do, By the way that rack and bike holder is made by Thule for Porsche. Keep up you good spirit.

  • @Mad69Russian
    @Mad69Russian 7 років тому +1

    Since you don't have a real trunk, maybe you can strap the next dead body on the roof. (wrapped in old carpet, so cops won't bother you, before you have a chance to dump it in the woods, where you dumped the others)

    Porsche system looks great but if you ever want a smaller, lighter and easier system then take a look at the SeaSucker Talon. I needed a bike carrying solution for my BMW i8 which has no rail systems available and opted for the SeaSucker. It's a great system, secure, easy to store in the boot or behind a seat. They do a 1, 2 and 3 bike system too if you have friends.

    Bikes on the roof of sports cars is my fetish. I approve, Nick. It would be nice to see some straps from the handlebars to the roof however, run diagonally. Having the bottom of the wheels take the whole moment of the bike is a lot of stress concentrated right there.
