Martin, Martin, Martin...the open fuel container was prepped for the upcoming refueling stop! A few years ago I just about crashed my Jeep (laughing so hard) when a guy pulled out from a curb with all his camping gear wrapped up in clear plastic on the roof of his car and tied on with string...it promptly fell off (at very low speed). The dumb and dumber will always be with us.

Right at the end of the clip the pazaratzi car has an open petrol can on the back seat - I bet that smells nice! M.
My mind's made up - don't bother me with

look at the picture again, the ones i showed are damn close to exactly the ones he is using, the same cheap straps you can find at any wallyworld GREAT SPIRITS HAVE ALWAYS ENCOUNTERED VIOLENT OPPOSITION FROM MEDIOCRE MINDS-ALBERT EINSTEIN- Never argue with an idiot, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

How do I figure?  BTW, the ones you showed are not even close to the ones he is using. Ask me how I know. But then I probably wouldn't answer.  ------------------

LOVE IT ! I am a big fan of station wagons too. We've almost always had a station wagon, or SUV or hatchback with roof racks in the lineup here @ ve9aa ~ 30 minutes in a Mini is more therapeutic than 3 sessions @ the shrink. ~ For Sale or Trade: 1961 Land Rover Series II 88" -$5k or a Mini Mike  NB, Canada

His choice of tie downs are the only thing ridiculous here. Sometimes when all one owns is a hammer all lifes problems looks like a nail. BTW, had he gone out and purchased a F550 Turbo Diesel 4X4 4 Door with Extra Cab, would we not have equally critic him ------------------
