So...I previously shoved my road bike in a bike bag and stuffed it into the back of my 997 - but I got tired of dealing with it and went with the Porsche roof rack and Thule Force 624 Large Box. And yes - the guys at work have lost all respect for me as of this morning. I'm officialy NOT a car guy after doing this to my turbo they say .

Here are some pix - easy install and bike fits right in - wheels off - seat tube off.

Please don't hate me...the bike and rack will come off after every trip!

 

Haha. No hate here. It's a good feeling driving home in the turbo after a nice refreshing ride. Nice bike btw!

I used to do the same on a C4S....made summer road trips/camping a breeze and more enjoyable getting there. Got some funny looks in the campgrounds with the rocket box and two bikes on top. Surprisingly not too hard on gas, although I probably drove a little differently top-loaded.

Possibly the only thing that I miss about moving up to the TT cab.

Have fun!

Thats what the rack is for. I like it.

Question, do they sell new cameras wherever you bought that rack?

 

LOL! now that put a smile on my face today! I took pix with my iphone this mornning at 6am - still dark - tried to use some photo doctoring to lighten it up...clearly did not work out well!

 

Hey...you have to combine your hobbies.

 

Imo the exposed bicycle carrier looks better. The box type one just looks bad.

 

You can say your car is well optioned.

 

i like the exposed bike carrier... but i assume you dont want people seeing your bike.


looks fine, i love roof racks.. i like the shorter ones better however like on that camo gallardo

 

Totally agree - the bike rack looks much cooler and I have no problem showing a bike off! However, I need to leave the bike on the car while at work - so need it in a secure container - the box is perfect for that...however a bit on the ugly side no doubt. And to make sure the bike fits in the box - the Force 624 L has perfect dimensions.
