Graham M Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Does anyone know what the width overhang(?) limit is for cars? Looks like I'll be carrying a buggy with a 150 ish axle on a micra. Anyone carry a complete buggy with 2m axle on an average sized car? Thanks Quote
Mark Rose Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I carry a 150 axle on a xantia and its the same size. Quote
Graham M Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Posted February 11, 2005 you strap it directly onto the roof dont you mark? Quote
flydad Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Generally as long as you don't exceed the overall width (i.e. wing mirrors) nobody will bother. Quote
MadAndy71 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 Generally as long as you don't exceed the overall width (i.e. wing mirrors) nobody will bother. So you can work this by just extending your mirrors? Quote
Graham M Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Posted February 11, 2005 he.he. Thats what I was wondering. Quote
MadAndy71 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 he.he. Thats what I was wondering. Remember to tell your insurance Co. They will see it as a mod...take your premiums quite happily and then not pay out of you make a claim....i.e..dinged one of your 70cm wing mirrors!! Quote
daveswan Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 As long as you put markers (lights if travling in the dark) at the over hanging points and your load is Secured and does not in pear your vision you will be fine .A bike rack on the rear of a car has to be the way to go! Quote

firekarter Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I gather ur new buggy is almost complete then ? Quote
nolan Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I've never had any problems with my V-Max on our Mini, but that may be more down to luck. Quote
Graham M Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Posted February 12, 2005 I gather ur new buggy is almost complete then ? Yep.Should get its first trial run at Ainsdale on Sunday:cool: Quote
firekarter Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 Yep.Should get its first trial run at Ainsdale on Sunday:cool: Is urs BIGGER than mine ? Quote
Graham M Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Posted February 12, 2005 Is urs BIGGER than mine ?Woman walks into a pub and asks for a double entendre, so the barman gave her one. (buggys about 180 long and 160 wide) Quote
Hathba Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 You need to get yourself some of them badass caravanning miirors, trouble is with all that weight and a buggy i am not sure a Micra would move Quote
Graham M Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Posted February 12, 2005 axle is wider than expected.Now 175cm wide. Quote
firekarter Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 Do as i do use a bike rack , then take the front forks off and fit it on with the axel vertical . If u try to the other direction and leave ur forks on u will have a five wheeled micra. Cool Other option is roof. Quote
seanratcliff Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 hi dont know if this helps but i know that as the law stands with a trailer your allowed a 300mm over hang either side of your car/van before you need outer marker lights in the dark so id guess it would be the same over hang during daylight hours sean Quote
the_pe_teacher Posted February 13, 2005 Report Posted February 13, 2005 ahh the joys of living in the middle east were there are no restrictions... oh yeah owning a full size suv helps too... just open the tail gate and slide the buggy in nice and easy. Quote
