Actually they are horrible. The rack is semi-flexible, and sits on thin slats directly on the paintwork. Friction wears the paint away, and trapped water and dirt start the roof rusting. When you take it off there are permanent stains from uneven sun-bleaching.

Silver Torslanda estate coming down into Macclesfield from the Cat and Fiddle in a blizzard yesterday 11am - I'd just been up to the top in Arne and it was pretty damn scary! Not only could I feel his eagerness to plough through a stone wall or three, but I had a near miss with a Tesco delivery van coming the other way - the driver floored it in a snow drift and careered towards us, completely out of control....
