RIBase
One for the Land Rover boys and girls...

This is on the home page of the Guardian tonight in relation to parts of England going to Tier 4. Now I'm thinking WTF... I thought he was loading a blade from a wind turbine.

Anyway, the equivalent of throwing a chicken drumstick to some hungry labradors! Let the load carrying discussion commence!

Happy Christmas everyone.

From my perspective (through a half empty Talisker bottle), her load appears to be very well balanced indeed.

Think her mobile is acting as a counter balance 😊

Have a good Christmas Willk 🎉👍🎉

I’ve been carrying 6.5m ocean skis around on hatch backs and saloons for years! Hilarious really.

Special rules do apply for carriage of rowing sculls on overhang.

Have to say towing the local rowing club's quads and doubles 4 high has been was scary on narrow B roads

That reminds me of a friend who turned up at the pub for a work social gathering, many years ago.
We knew he had arrived, when his surf board, strapped to his car roof, punched a hole in the window of the pub lounge as he reversed into a parking bay !
Happy new year....
