Greetings,

well - I made a small mistake and promised that I would take the soon to be missus skiing for our honey moon in the GTR. As some of you may know my GTR is in the UK and I only really get to drive it on holidays

I have done a search and see that there was a Thule system available but it is now discontinued (I even called them direct to see if they could find one lying about somewhere to no avail)

Is there anyone that could lend/sell/rent me theirs ??? I am happy to pay almost anything to make this happen.

I have seen the inflatable ones but not sure how they would work out with Skis and such a long drive. The other option I heard someone suggest was to have one custom made - which is a good last resort if anyone knows a place that would do it.

Please - somebody must be able to help

thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

The Thule parts you require are Foot pack 950 Bar 761 Kit 235 & SRA Adaptor 477.

We can help with all but the kit, which was delisted by Thule in 2005 as you say.

I did a search & found these people have one though? Thule Roof Racks - Gutterless Fitting Kit 235

If you get the kit, I can do you a deal on the rest of the parts:thumbsup:

Dave.

Dave,

thank you very much - I have ordered the 235 kit so if you can help me with the rest that would be amazing (including the ski rack bits of course)

Blue - that was my idea originally - but the 'almost wife' bought me some nice new skis last year and will be miffed if I don't use them...

skyline + snow = bad idea :chuckle:

skyline + snow = bad idea :chuckle:

maybe not 'bad idea' - perhaps 'not the most sensible idea'

You do need to take into account that I drive my S15 silvia in Moscow in the snow all winter so I am already certifiable
