    5 brave men and women of law enforcement are fallen in action in Dallas. And people are talking about something as trivial as roof boxes? :mad:

            So I can fit the roof box to me new Land Rover, I need cross bars. So I can fit the cross bars, I need to get roof rails. This will be the THIRD set of mountings I have bought for the roof box, a box that cost about £100 and has now set me back in excess of £500 to get it on top of the cars. :mad: AND I need to find a replacement parcel shelf for the back of the car; another £150 or so.

                          Do stop it. It was bad enough trying to work out *what* it was called. I thought it would be something sensible like a boot cover, no that goes under everything, or a privacy screen, those are for the windows. Stupid names.

                            You probably should have bought an American made pickup.  Just through whatever it is you have in the back. On top of that, it would also include a pre-mounted gun-rack.

                                There are many things I could have got, but considering that as each new generation of my family has come the genepool has widened I don't feel I have the right breeding for a pick-up.

                                    5 brave men and women of law enforcement are fallen in action in Dallas. And people are talking about something as trivial as roof boxes? :mad:

                                    You can use a roof box as cover.

                                      In cramped places like most European countries any vehicle longer than 4m is a hassle - in my city one can't even turn in several streets with a mild SUV because there's no room to steer. Let's not even talk about parkings...

                                        Pickups are for farm workers, Land Rovers for farm owners.

                                          So I can fit the roof box to me new Land Rover, I need cross bars. So I can fit the cross bars, I need to get roof rails. This will be the THIRD set of mountings I have bought for the roof box, a box that cost about £100 and has now set me back in excess of £500 to get it on top of the cars. :mad: AND I need to find a replacement parcel shelf for the back of the car; another £150 or so.
