Who needs a roof rack anyway?

I have been meaning to buy a roofrack for some time now. But I guess when you live only 1.5km from the furthest beach on a private island then there really is no need. This does mean driving around with the trunk open and the occasional issue as your board or mast goes flying out the back, you should see us on the way to the airport when we are going on a trip with boardbags hanging out the back, now I wonder what the local Bahrainis think of that! I would buy a pick-up truck but you can only have one here if it is owned by a local or a company, thats the law.
