Got a Fapa


Spuff - if you take the tonneau and the roof is up why don't you just fold it up and put it in the roof well?? Mine fits

Anyone got a luggage rack for the boot? Do Honda make one? Any experiences with them?

I've found www.roofrackshop.co.uk which has one to fit the 'S'. Just not sure what to do......
We've done weeks away in the S all over the continent and down to Italy and Corsica. Never needed a boot rack-spoils the car imho. How much stuff do you want to take? Bin the tonneau for starters.

Looks much nicer in its birthday suit!

I thought it was an old one or a faulty date. Sorry if I've put a potential customer off!

I agree, it does look nicer without the rack.
Unfortunately the wheelchair weaves a bit when towing over 80 and the tyres are not VR rated plus the better half insists on sitting in the car so it has to be the boot rack.
Friday, France, 3 days to Switzerland around Mont Blanc, through St Bernards Pass, hotel in Italy on to the French Alps for 1 week, then up to southern Burgundy for a week trying to empty the wine lake. Could not manage it without the boot rack.

Didn't even notice


Perhaps the for sale section would have been more appropriate

We don't do snow, only sun.
We did the Col de Serrene once, never again unless in a 4x4.
Good job I had my brown jeans on.
People thought we were stupid driving through it in a sports car, I knew we were stupid.
