Yep. That figures. There's no rush as I'm going back to London tomorrow.
This whole incident has reminded me that I don't like relying on my Dad for a car/rack, partly because he's a cantankerous old bugger (who's already started trying to blame me for the whole incident, which I think is unfair) but also because he's in his 70s and ill and can't really do stuff. I have been thinking about buying a cheap car for a while.
My preferred course of action would be buy a nice facelift MR2 Mk3, buy bike rack for that, enjoy. But as I don't actually have a job at the moment I should probably wait till I do :)

All the straps supplied with the racks I have bought are inelastic- fabric that passes through a cleat of some kind predominantly. It may have nothing to do with the accident, but it seems an easy aspect to rule out in future.
