The website for Rola is http://www.rola.com.au Repco Export Brisbane Australia Contact: Dallas at rapoz@repco.com.au The roof rack number is RM063 $230.00. LA2 $96.97 set of 2 skis.

These racks are to suit a Subaru SVX 1992 TO 1997 Dallas is great to work with, I had my racks in a week ($65 Au to Washington State), and they replaced a set of locks NC due to shipping damage without any argument.

So how much did you spend in USD? and which one did you get (2 ski, 4 ski... ). Do you go to White pass often?
I keep calling that ad you PM'd me about the tires, but they are never home. I'll try again tomorrow I guess. |

I visa'd the bill, so my recollection is that it was about $315 US. The interesting deal (at least for me) is that I got a bill in the mail from DHL (the shipper) for $12 duty. I bought the smallest arm, it looks like you could do 3 pr of skiis. It is too low profile to mount the skiis base to base, so they have to be set side by side. This one will only carry 1 board, although you might be able to get a board and 1 pr of skiis on it. I sort of figured that if you had more than 2 people and their gear, you'd take something bigger than the svx!
Don't ski much anymore, bad back makes the moguls less fun, tore a MCL and didn't have surgery-so that makes the knee a little unstable. All in all, just too damn old to rip it anymore (and ifn you cant tear it up- wheres the fun?) I'm home most of the day, so I'll try the tire number and see what I can find out. My son and his friends were at White weekend before last, they said that there was between 3 feet and 4 inches on lower roller.They were hiking up and snoboarding down. White was planning on being open T-giving, but I don't know what happened up there in the last 3 days. |

Sorry- my bad
Mike is right, if you go to the Rola site, the basic rack is $299AU, the arms start at $127Au and up. I just cut and pasted the reply from Dallas from the last rola thread to clean things up. The prices quoted look like pretty close to US $. When I bought mine, the exchange rate was $100 US = $137AU, but I suppose that goes up and down. The Rola racks aren't any cheaper than anything else, but they look great and actually fit the car without modification. |
