Apart from the yellow licence plate these guys were easy to tell by the camping trailers they had in tow. You see, the spot behind the car is usually already taken, thats the reason to come up with another idea since two trailers behind one vehicle are not allowed. But I agree a roof rack should do the job. ;) Ulli *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
