    What had made me think of one is that a neighbour has a Ford pickup and there are several Hiluxes around. Checked out Hilux and they are about 1505mm with the smaller cabs having proportionally larger. Can two bikes not go at an angle to fit better? Or are the issues of doing that too great?

    We'll probably find that the answer is a printing press - in Germany, or another one of the 27. (After all, if it is OK to print passports abroad...)

    Have found many things bought from China have not incurred any changes despite having an over-£15 value. Rather suspect that trying to understand the documentation could well be why they don't bother.

    :) The official bike rack is optional but has a max. load of something like 32 kg for two, 20 kg for one. Just not enough. It is also the smaller car.
