If you replace it with a similarly powerful M3 or RS4 then that's fine, if not, get a roof mounted rack

I've got the roof mounted rack. But also a roof box. When we go camping I can't use both....

Ah.....: you know you're a cyclist when go on a camping holiday and have to leave the kids behind to fit the bikes in

I have just discovered the perfect cyclist car for a petrolhead.............. A porsche cayman. Fit the roofrack, and hey presto You can go mtb'ing in your sports car. loads of boot space for spare wheels and all your gear.

Last weekend was great fun, drive to a time trial in abergavenny, great roads, then, do the time trial and drive back home down those same great roads home, car fix, bike fix all iinthe same morning.
