Car Bike racks

I bought a Paddy Hopkirk bike rack from Argos. Advertised as a Paddy Hopkirk Universal High Mount Rear 3 Cycle Carrier for £49.99
This is in fact the Paddy Hopkirk Snowdon High Mount Rear 3 Cycle Carrier which is for sale in many places (including firms on the net) for £69.99.
A REAL BARGAIN
No extra parts to buy - no assembly - easy to fit to a car.
Made in the UK - with a 3 year warranty
Thank you Argos.

    Thank you Argos.

    Do you have a code for this?
    Could be doing with one myself.

    Thanx
    But first, the most asked question:

    Q "Is anything worn under your kilt???"

    A "No. Everything is in perfect working order Thank You!!."
