Latest Mod..one for the ladies :)

Not having very long arms, and not wanting to pay £20 quid for the proper ones, I have improvised and made some girly pull up straps for the rear seats.....they are a darker shade of green to match BRG (camera flash has made them look alot lighter )..anyway they will do until I get but some leather ties

Total cost £3.97
To fit 5 mins

Excellent idea! I was just thinking today what a pain pulling the seats up is when I was taking my skis out of the back.

What sort of arms have you got at the moment then Tracie , I think £20 for new proper arms is quite reasonable really
