2012 - The Year The UK Will Show The World How Its Done.

With 2012 being the year of the Olympics for the UK, now is the time to get out and enjoy the waters that surround our great island. The UK boasts some of the most successful sports men and women in watersports, from Sailing and Rowing, to Kayaking and Swimming. So lets get fully behind them in their quest for Gold Medals this summer! Join them in the water and experience the amount of fun that can be had in a canoe or a kayak. Here at CarRacks, we have a wide range of carrying systems to suit your needs when transporting your equipment to the water, why not take a look at the Mont Blanc Galactica Kayak Carrier or the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier. And from everyone at CarRacks, we wish all the athletes that are competing in the summer games, the best of luck. We will be supporting you all.

Roof Boxes for your Summer Holiday

Its summer and the weather lately has proved that it is just going to get hotter. We have the brand new range of Thule Pacific roof boxes for you to look at for your camping trip away. The 2012 Pacific  range is aerodynamic and has a massive amount of space inside for all your luggage and any other items you need to transport. For this year, Thule have redesigned the lid to give it an Aeroskin textured  material and an extravagant look. All 2012 Pacific Roof Boxes now come with dual side opening, making it easier to load, and meaning its safer to load, as no matter what side of the road you park on, you can open the box while stood on the pavement.  Make sure you check these boxes out, as they are selling fast.

 

            

 

We Love These Products......

You may notice on the CarRacks website that there are particular products which the CarRacks team have road tested and reviewed ourselves, earning the "We Love" symbol. Our sales staff are avid fans of the outdoors, a team which is made up of cyclists, canoeists, skiers and racing drivers. Who better to test and review the great products on Carracks.co.uk.

 

We Love the Mont Blanc Apollo... Out of all the Mont Blanc and Thule towbar mount cycle carriers that we have tested, the Apollo is by far the best; both in functionality and for the price. A superb tilt function makes loading and unloading your boot space a simple task, by allowing the rack to tilt a full 90° gives you full access to the boot space.

 

We also Love the Mont Blanc Discovery.....Why not mount the Discovery onto your Roof Rack. A great looking bike carrier, which is lightweight, durable and easy to use. The Discovery is great value for money and has advantages over competing bike carriers on the market. Such as an extra wide wheel tray to take up to 2.3 inch width tyres, a lightweight aluminium frame and clamping arm which can be moved to suit the size of your bikes.

Going To Europe This Year?

Another important accessory to consider for anyone hoping to travel away to resorts across Europe this year, is a European Travel Kit. It is illegal to travel without the relevant safety equipment in many European countries now, and if you are caught without it, you may be fined by local authorities. Here at CarRacks, we can supply you with all the relevant safety products from Beam Benders to Flourescent Jackets and First Aid Kits. If you are unsure of the requirements needed for the country you are driving to, please check with the relevant tourist board
