   Hi,
   I am looking to get some roof bars for my saxo to transport a few things. It is only a 1.1 (02 reg) and I was wondering if anyone knew where to get some?
   
   and what would the maximum weight it could take, e.g. could i put a sofa on it?
   
   Cheers

   Thanks, seems quite low, that's less than an average man.

   Ha, I bet he was impressed!
   But surely could hold more weight with roof bars?
