Not half as much fun as filling them and going on a road trip :thumbsup:

Glad I followed your recommendations. The cases fit really well and are beautifully finished. HRH is looking at suitable accommodation in the Cotswolds and when we can go. :D

That is true. I have been a member for just over a year and the help and advice has been invaluable. I enjoy the banter too. Mind you it can get a bit heated. It sometimes surprises me what winds people up. My car has MSport badges on it put on by the previous owner, so no doubt I will come in for a bit of stick over them. Even the seat belt pads have MSport embroidered on them. But there are a lot of knowledgeable and friendly folk here and I enjoy trawling through all the information available.

I wouldn’t worry my car has M badges all over the place - factory fitted! The Dealer even gave me a black/ red cap with the logo!

Three days booked in the Cotswolds next week to try out the new luggage. Not sure how much of my case I will get to use for myself. Fingers crossed for the good weather to continue.

I can’t see on the pictures but does the cover have an elasticated net between it and the rear bulkhead?

Not sure why you can’t see the pictures - they are deffo there🤷‍♂️

There is no net where you say, no - I’m afraid.

I can see the pictures ok - but my car has the net - I was looking to see if your car had it also.

This is an attempt to show the net at the rear of the load cover to the rear bulkhead. - My current Z is Aug/Sept 16 - my previous car was Mar 10 and didn’t have the net.
