I've got a Halfrauds top box which is still in good condition after a few years abuse. I have a Clarke roller cab just over a year old and I've managed to bust one of the draw runners...

I bought these two from Halfords when they were on offer late last year, and they are very good quality.

I bought one of those at the begining of the year, when it was on offer, plus, buy the roll cab and get the top box free.

Loads more space (but still not big enough *happy*) than the one I had which is a similar size to the one you are looking at Paul. I have no complaints about the smaller cheaper roll cab other than it was too small, mine is still in use and must be getting on for 15 years + old

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

Be warned that no matter how big a box you buy, it will soon feel too small.

This is mine, I am currently on the lookout for a side cab for it.

My bro has one of the Halfords industrial bottom boxes. They are excellent quality for the money. I can't fault it

I rate my Halfords box. It didn't like travelling too much and the abuse it gets in the race truck but held out well for such a cheap box.

I'm a sucker for nice tool boxes though and have a fami roller cabinet being made to fit nicely in the race transporter and match the rest of the team cabinets.
