DB9 Ski rack

[MaverickV12]

Had this ski rack a while now, and thinking of making a new one.

Just wondering if anyone out in Aston world has a ski rack on their Aston and have any photos?



I'll make a new one, but I don't want to go reinventing the wheel if I don't have to....

Maverick is that you?! Thought you were dead. How's the tick?

I use Sea Suckers to transport Skis or Bicycles. Works well.

What is it fastened to, have you had a towbar fitted?

Still here. Tick was sorted years ago by a very reputable Indie and has been as good as new in all weathers and autobahns.

What ever works for you. My preference is total independence and I like choose the most inappropriate car for any journey.

Yes, a Towbar, but is only designed for vertical loading, so not something you'd like to tow a trailer with. But you do get the odd stare if I have the BallHitch attached.

I was merely after some ideas..... I like to go to places like these from December - March



With some exceptional snow even in March .....



Just wondering if anyone had ski or bike rack on their car .....

..... if not, I'll just design a new one and try and make it snazzy as I can.

I never actually fitted one Aston but I did make a boot rack with ski clamps for my DB9 volante but it would've meant me sourcing a spare boot lid (which I couldn't find at the time) in order to bolt it on. I ended up sticking our skis in my brothers Audi.

I have one of these now, although I generally just chuck the skis in the car.

You mind find some inspiration here too http://bestskiracks.com

'Ayup Steve, long time no-see!

How's things? You not ventured back to an AM yet?

Always thought this was a cool way to transport skis...

Hi Jeff,

I still visit this bit regularly but don't often have anything to add.

I keep saving up but then Louisa decides there's better things to spend our money on like weddings and stuff. I've been half looking this year but the serious search will probably start in the spring.

Good stuff and congratulations on the wedding, I hope Louisa is well too.

Good news for the spring, will be nice to see you back in an AM, plus somewhere for your old ski rack to fit to as well
