RS 6+ roof rack / bike carrier

[bam_bam]

ok - some of you may find it highly amusing to see 997 turbo with 2 decent mountain bikes strapped to the top

Rule 1.
Also, extra points if there a guy sat on one of the bikes while strapped to the roof. Double points if the car is moving...

I've got an Audi branded Mont Blanc sitting in the roof of my garage if you want to make me an offer? I already had a pair of Thule 591s and they suit mountain bikes better as the Mont Blanc suits a thinner tyre design.

Based near Gatwick but happy to post/sort dropping off if you're somewhere I travel to.

York are your Porsche cycle carriers not cross-compatible with a set of Audi roof rails (or Thule / Mont-Blanc / other)??

Surely you just need the roof bars?

I bloody hope so, I only have 2 carriers, I need another 2 for the sprogs.
I'm not sure about the Thule, but my guess is that the audi roof bars are probably rebranded mont-blanc versions anyway.
Would sooner have the audi ones, but depends on what I can find for a reasonable cost.
The missus hasn't forgotten my repair bill from Grizz yet.

Probably a silly question but do you think the roof types ones are better than the carrier that hangs from the back of the car?

Sorry I meant to add: there seems to be a few that don't require a tow bar. Don't know how trustworthy they'd be.

Cheers.
