just a public note of thanks to Rob [ Professor Peach ] for enabling my purchase by picking up this item and storing it for me !
now all I have to do is get it from Northampton to somewhere near the western section of the M25 ! following section to my current location of Southampton already fixed [ A6 Avant ] and the 1,000Km to southern France after that is easy ...bike carrier on the back of my motorhome !! the pleasures of A8 ownership !

Well, Rob and I do occasionally see each other at various meets, so there's a potential transfer mechanism there to the M25/M40 area.
 When's the next Buddies Breakfast Rob?

Now, will it go in the boot of my D2, or do I need to steel the wife's Jeep? Andrew - I've heard nothing about a buddies gathering, but they're never too far apart. We'll sort something I'm sure.

but isn't there an easy way to find out ?..just whip the back bumper off your S8 and try it ? maybe not ! Andrew .....as you will remember my daughter knows her way to chez vous ....although she would have to come in her own car for this bumper ; no hurry as it is going to take some time to set up our new abode in the uk !
