Thanks and Funy Story
Many thanks Guys for teriffic respose. Looks like 8 ft or 2.4m it is then depending on which side of the pond I build on. As its in Spain I better stick with SI units even though I'm a Pom!
In 1994 I lived in Oman and bought a brand new Disco 1 (most nimble and able desert car I ever owned if driven well). Anyway,Ranulph Feinnes and Nicholas Clapp had just spent a winter expedition in the southern desert looking for archaological evidence for the Biblical city of Ubar et al.For the trek they had had a very nice half roof rack designed by the local LR agent(Yes all their vehicles were LRs) that carried two spare jerries and a wheel.
I bought on of these to the great amusement of my neighbours who,because of the baggage on the roof nicknamed me 'The Refugee From Kuwait.
A few months later my wife was out on a long range and very expensive shopping expedition and tried to drive the rig into a underground carpark!!!
End of roofrack,end of gutters,end of story!!!
