Trailer Queens........ avert your eyes! Only warning... look away now!

Just in case you're not on the Mail Lists, here's the Bike Rack that I came up with for my TR6 though I bet it would woirk on any TR with the proper mounting points. Here's a couple of teaser pictures.

Don, if you're going to claim that, you probably shouldn't reply to the very last post :devilgrin:

I say "Good for you" Bob! It looks great. Not what I would want to do to my car, but if it pleases you, that's <span style="font-weight: bold">all </span>that is important!

Saw his post and photo on the 6pack forum. So I skipped to the bottom of the thread.
Nice things like that irritate me.
Why can't I do stuff like that?

Thanks Randall..... the way I look at it is.... this is how we used our LBCs back when they were new. My AH3000 had a ski rack (yes I drove it on salt/snow covered Vermont roads) and I can remember laying my bike across the luggage rack and strapping it down! Bet we won't ever see a Healey owner do that today! I figured this was a more "elegant" solution :yesnod: and the whole thing comes off in a matter of minutes. I see guys at shows with picnic baskets strapped to their luggage racks.....now did any of you peeps ever use a picnic basket back in the 60's & 70's? Maybe a cooler full of beer...but a picnic basket.... never happened back then. :driving:

I saw a TR3a on the Thruway when I was a kid passing us with a sidemounted ski rack with two pairs of skis heading north towards Albany and I guess the Adirondacks, since they had passed the catskills already. Funny thing was my dad said he remembers those racks for sale at the dealer he got his TR3a from, and you couldn't get out of the passenger door with the rack on. When I was a junior in high school in the late 80's I recall a beat up TR4 passing us southbound by Harriman on the Thruway. It had a styrofoam cooler on the luggage rack, no top, the occupants were bundled up (it was spring break and cold that morning) and I wanted to be that cool. Not literally. I used to have a roofrack on my GT6 to go to bike races in the midwest, and had one on my TR7 coupe as well. Hey, these are cars and should be used as such is my opinion.

The ski rack on my Sprite and then my AH3000 attached to the luggage rack and the skis mounted front to back. The ski rack angled them up over the top. After I broke my leg skiing, the ski rack was used to hold my crutches. It takes "talent" to depress a clutch with a toe to hip plaster cast on your left leg! The one thing I never saw back then was a picnic basket on a luggage rack yet there's a thread going on about that subject..... :jester:
