  • Thule 780 Topbox on the S2 Avant...

    I don't know, always felt it sits so well on top of the S2, it just looks 'serious leisure - business like'...





    These were taken with the mobile, I'll clean her up a bit later in the week and take some proper pictures. Anyone else use their Avant in anger... (No double decker funeral jokes please).

      It should make passing stuff that much funnier.

      I have not progressed to an avant yet, however I do put roofbars and kayaks on the coupe. Passed a type r with two young guys in it when I had two boats on the roof of the S2, they were not amused

        audi avants were made for a decent roofbox - have a thule Pacific or Atlantis for the a6 and looks like it was born there with the alu rails, aero bars and that would be great to take an S2Avant down to the Alps for a week's skiing

          Good man...

          Here, do you suffer from 'Topbox snobbery' like we do?

          There's nothing worse than seeing a nice car with a Halfords 'special' Upside-down Garden Pond strapped to the roof.

                      Not my S2, but don't be surprised if i post similar pic's with the S2 next year (how do I get those attachments properly inline?)

                      BTW : the # for the original Votex T-nut railconnectors (what would you call them, you native folks?) are 8A9 071 151. Skip those 2yard Thule's and go OEM :mischeif:

                        S2, motorbike and surfboard, the perfect holiday You can never have too much leisure activity equipement. BTW kites are in the boot

                        I have a long thin top box which will go alongside the surfboard, its a pretty nasty one though.

                          Here'tis, taken with a better camera as promised.

                          Complete with the dog in the boot.

                          Like John, the kites are loaded, but in the Topbox at the moment...
