Well, not a car, but 4 trail bikes are enough.

Brilliant.

Could he not have carried it between two cars on some kind of sling?

Makes me wonder whether I'm being a bit over-precious about the maximum loading for our roof box when we go camping.

I might have overloaded some roofracks in the past

Mine are rated at 75kgs which is enough for 4 Enduro style bikes plus carriers which is about the fiery edge of what I could squeeze on it.

75kg. I noticed my Thule bars have the faintest curve in them after a recent family holiday yet I'm fairly confident they weren't overloaded. Not point loaded either.

I was more intrigued how it got in on/ was getting it off.

Does make you wonder thou why he thought it was a good way to transport a car.
