Weekend Space for the Zed

Post by bazza1966 »

Hi, All though I would share this with you we know with the Zed we struggle with boot space for the long weekend and longer trips well I think I've found the solution as Jan her indoors likes to take a couple off tops & dress's and maybe even the kitchen sink :lol: away with her, well I have found Boot-Bag.com have just done 250miles down to Cornwall and back with this strapped to the boot it did not move once even when we reached the max speed limit for that road? with the top down as well, its like carrying a large suit case on your boot protected by a rubber mat which protected the paint work, it works well with hood down or up, you can open boot with it fitted as well look at picture, think you will be impressed would recommend, you can choose between two sizes as well I went for the larger one but I think most people would get away with the smaller bag, hope you like.

They look secure but the only prob I can see is that it obscures the 3rd brake light.

Good idea but as you said you can't see the third brake light.
I wonder if the smaller bag would work better and not cover the light?

Hi, Brian & Corky the smaller bag will still cover the third brake light, but I think it's still worth it if anybody is that close and can't see any brake lights
I think covering the third one will not prevent idiots? :roll: from getting to close anyway :head:

How did people know a car was braking, before they started fitting these 3rd brake lights?
Maybe, they looked at the other two, where they can still also see the indicators, sidelights, etc.

If they were that close that they no longer see your other brake lights, I think its already too late for them to be able to stop
:D.

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

Thanks for sharing looks like I have another argument to add taking my car to Germany rather than her indoors 1.2 Polo.
