I like the SUM bit. I was a bit worried that I would need to go the factory roof rack route, but the Mont Blanc rack works great, installs in less than 15 mins and you can use the tow loops to secure the canoe front and back if you buy a second loop.
Cheers,
Ian.
p.s. not sure about the colour combo though!

Thanks that would be awesome! Anyone have the paint code for hyper blue? - think it would look smashing on my canoe (might even spluge on some bonnet stripes for her
