Default Took The Q5 Canoeing
I've had my Q5 for two months now and like all of us, I am loving it. I enjoy seeing all the sparkling clean pictures of your new rides but its still a SUV and can handle dirt very well. So, here's my first picture. Enjoy!

It's a one seater 10' 6" Wee Lassie. Originally designed by J Henry Rushton. I built it many years ago.

I'd be worried about that strap rubbing on the grill and your hood's clearcoat!
Looks like fun.

The strap is secured to a Thule hook that is trapped by/under the hood. The strap that you see on the grill is just loosly tied off. Still, I am concerned that the Thule hook may damage the clearcoat and I need to rig some kind of cushion.
