Default A good reason not to tow with an impreza

I told you it was a good picture....

If i get my car back in time for the lodge meet i will introduce myself as the plank that rolled the caravan.

Wasnt even going fast and thankfully no one was hurt very lucky considering i had my other half and littl'un in it.

At least all concerned were unhurt and the car can be fixed.

Hope you've scrapped the caravan.

Caravan is gone and towbar removed lol

Had my MX bike in the caravan youd be suprised what that can do when it does a cartwheel inside a wooden box at 60mph

i think the lesson to be learnt here is that
if you intend to tow a caravan
buy a wagon
wagon owners are old, drive slow
smoke pipes, stink of pi55 and wear slippers
and are ideally suited to the movement of caravans

Some peeps take Rolling Roads far too literally for my liking

Jokes aside glad everyone is OK no fun rolling anything with your loved ones inside.
