Yeah thought about that but not got a towbar yet. Prob will have by the time I need

to take bikes anywhere so will have a look.
Fuel consumption isn't really an issue as my car is superb and I won't be taking bikes that far or very often. Also, I do 600 miles/week so compared to that the odd weekend bike trip pales into insignificance
