| No, It's a Mont Blanc they have it here for more cash (but it includes locks) ... http://www.skidrive.co.uk/newmini.php3 It's funny, but even more heads turn as I drive with it on !? It makes the MINI a real lifestyle car Here's a pic with bike mounts ... http://www.myfonepics.co.uk/rich/Ind...ent=1066594661 Cheers MCS, DS/B, 17's, Skirts, Xenons, fogs, Privacy, White lights, Leather, Climate, Heated screen, 6 CD, Multi S/Wheel, Cruise, DSC, OBC, head bags ... think that's about it |

| Good stuff, I think it looks very good. I may invest in one myself (although how pathetic is this-- I worry if I start going on bike trips, I'll end up getting the interior dirty!!  ) !! |

| There's been quite a bit of discussion on the Mont Blanc rack on MINI2. Run a search and you should find a few more pics and stuff. It basically clips on to the plastic gutter. I've been considering one for a while (mountain biking), but although it's rated to carry two mountain bikes I've yet to hear from anyone on here who does this regularly. |

| Thanks for your comments guys/gals I doesn't really clip to the gutter. It fits around the gutter and under the door windows - around the frame. I intend to do regular biking, and took two mountain bikes out the other day, it was very stable and didn't cause any marking. It is designed to carry up to 50kg, my bikes are quite light though! Although I really got it for my 7'10 MiniMal surfboard Might also consider a box for camping .....  It's no probs with sunroof  the sales pic has one. The feet fit quite close to the edge.

| I've found someone at last! Most people seem to be carrying surfboards or roof boxes. Do you have any pics with the bikes on? What kind of bike carrier do you use? Mont Blanc do a decent one. Let us know how you get on with the bikes. Cheers. |

| They are fairly cheap mounts, like the Mont Blanc 622 Classic Roof Cycle Carrier but are not branded.  Sorry, no pictures of the bikes on the roof .. yet However, I just bought my wife a full susspension bike and these will not fit it MCS, DS/B, 17's, Skirts, Xenons, fogs, Privacy, White lights, Leather, Climate, Heated screen, 6 CD, Multi S/Wheel, Cruise, DSC, OBC, head bags ... think that's about it |

| I bet your a bit annoyed then This is what I'm worried about-- my bike has a very fat and oddly sized frame which I suspect wont work with many bike carriers, which makes it hard to find one-- mail order being out as I would need to try one first  |
