I will take pictures once I get it all assembled and installed onto DARTTH. I didn't like the looks of the Audi bike pieces or ski pieces so i decided to see what I could get to work with the factory rack before settling on the Audi designed pieces. I will get the Yakima PowderHound Ski attachment for the winter. I am also thinking of getting the Yakima BasketCase and Net for hauling 2 or 3 race tires on the roof! I can get this done much faster than a hitch and trailer for the TTQ, at least for this season. I would have to borrow the basket and see how well the wheels stack on the roof of the TTQ. I know it is do-able, but can I get them to stack only two high?

I am not worried about the weight since the roof rack says it can hold 130# including the rack weight. The wheels/tires I am looking at will be 35# max each. If I got 3 on the roof that would be 105#, plus 13# for the rack and 10-15# for the basket. Total just under 130#. Worst case I can carry two on the roof and two in the car.

Again, I will post the pics in a few days as I will be in CT tomorrow at Rik's and won't be able to take the pics then. Sunday I will be Jet Skiing all day! :)<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=3285"><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/ttsig.jpg" BORDER=0 alt="Click for Mods"></a>
