Kayak on a Mini-Cooper?

Just be sure you tie it down properly and remember that it's up there when you try to fit your mini into small spaces. Actually, small cars are more practical than the big SUV's. Ever try to put a kayak on top of a 7 foot tall Behemouth by yourself? Addendum: The above addresses the generic problem of largish boat on a small car. That's not a problem in and of itself. Now, when it comes to a specific small car, one needs to be careful about how the racks are mounted and how the tie-downs are attached. Being unfamiliar with the Mini Cooper I can't say for sure that it's practical. It *should* work, but there may be something peculiar about the Mini that prevents it from being a good idea. //Walt |
