Extra trunk?

[Benur]

Hi all, while waiting for my first test and official prices in both Spain and France I have one question that Google could not answer...

I've seen several configurations to carry stuff "in" the 7, such as the funny:

but I want to know if there is the possibility of adding easyly a rack on the rear or similar, such as:

I've seen Morgans with it, but not on a 7 (which by the way the only not so pretty thing it has is "the butt" IMHO).

As the nearest mountain roads are about two hours ride from where I live, the idea would be to be able to safely carry some luggage in order to be able to stay overnight somewhere with my speed limiter (aka girlfriend) :-)

Thanks

Hahahaha, thanks for your answer. Well, OK, my favorite option would be 3, as I think that:

1) IMHO the extra boot bag is expensive and not adding too much space (and then, where do you put the rolled roof?)
2) no, no extra tyre in my mind
3) has anybody an idea of where to find this? As you have guessed my English is not very good and I don't know what words to use to Google it
4) can you believe it is me the one carrying a lot of stuff everywhere? My girl has a 10 in all the possible fields :-) By the way, she is as excited with the potential acquisition as I am, let's see if she enjoys the test ride

Any idea of where to find cases, racks or any way to attach something at the rear?

Best would be something like this but without spare tyre:

Wow! Thanks all for your answers.

In Spain (not sure about France) you can change the spare wheel for a "repair kit", which would be quite cheaper.

But, now I do not really know if it is really worth considering the spare wheel, as you can easily fit the rack, it can work as an extra "bumper" and you can fit inside the tools bag. Do you notice the weight difference? It is quite back on the car (center of gravity). Any problems expected with the extra exhaust silencer you need in Europe at the rear of the car?

Aeroscreens, are those Halcyon Mark 49 Goggles? I really like them. Where did you get the "flying helmets"? Approx price?

alaskossie, I think in continental Europe (normally) you cannot make any modifications to the car that are not "homologados". I am thinking in the "bike racks" for example, they have to be "legal".

By the way, beautiful cars!!!
