I was on the Sols forum and a poster Solli4me came up with a pretty neat solution to traveling with luggage. I kinda like the idea and with some proper padding could work out well.

Noticed that Kappasphere had a rack for the Sol, interested in what the Sky one will look like?

Where did you see the luggage rack on KappaSphere? I couldn't find it.

If I am staying more than a couple of days... Ship the luggage.

Supposely it's on the newsletter from them. It was also on the Sol forum. Here is a pic

The KappaSphere rack looks more substantial than the Saturn rack.

:agree: That Kappasphere rack actually looks like it might be functional. The Sky luggage rack looks like it's perfect for...as somebody else put it...grilling a couple of ribeye steaks. :lol:

In addition to the Saturn "BBQ" luggage rack there are these sites which may offer you some ideas:

The Kappashpere may seem more substantial but between the duffles Kappa sells and the Saturn version you should have enough space for travel. I think this one looks better.

Time to "Think Outside the Box"

There was no room to fit a spare tire in the SKY, so the solution was to fit a device to allow for the emergency re-inflation of tires.

I think the solution is to fit a device in the other side of the trunk that shrinks cargo down to a couple of cubic inches so that it can fit in the trunk, and then restore it to its original size once you reach the destination.

And, admit it folks, there would be thousands of uses for that gizmo! Think how many cars Saturn would sell.

And be honest - which would you rather have? A shink-o / restore-o size adjuster, or a lame power top?

What you are describing sounds like the space saver bags I see advertised at 2AM.

It may look better with out luggage, but I am sure they look about the same with the luggage.
It is just "How Much You Want To Take" along with you.

:agree:

It's really good looking and you can fix your purse upon that little thingy for a longer travel :jester:

A couple of duffle bags worked fine for me. As stated before, if going on long trips, take 20 to 40 bucks and ship the luggage. Every destination has a address, and the US mail, Fed-Ex and UPS all deliver. :thumbs: Plus no extra weight on my trunk lid to cause problems or dents and who wants wet luggage on their new car. :nono:

This doesn't look like it will work with a Sky with a spoiler.

There is always a way

Isn't this rack on backwards?
When this type of luggage rack is used with the old MG's & Triumph's the part that goes up, is at the rear so that your luggage lean against it. The way they have that one mounted if you straps came lose your bag would fall right off the rear end of your SKY and you would have your undies all over the highway.

 

[marklynn70]

It could be designed so that if in an accident the luggage would not hit you in the back of the head.

Works great if you don't mind that "slept-in, wrinkled" look or don't mind ironing everything you packed. I agree with Rick...just ship it!
