Default Never Guess What..........

I saw today......... A WR Blue Mica bugeye wrx ( I hope it was only ). Towing a caravan on the east bound A46. Didn`t see if it had gold wheels or not, and no caravan wasn`t coded.

This has been spotted a few times now.

I think the owner was listening in to a conversation in the pub, but didnt quite catch it all.

Those Subaru WR1's are excellent for pulling......

THE BIRDS.

And your point is.................?

I tow with my car which is well modded. It tows a dream, and is so powerful that the fuel consumption is about the same as when I'm pushing on a bit sans caravan:
And I don't hold people up, either:

Then when I get to the campsite, I still have a scoob to play with:

Didn't you read my post? I pull with the Scoob because:
1. It pulls like a train, MUCH better than my HDi Xantia, and
2. It leaves most stuff uphill even with a van on the back, so I hold no-one up, and
3. When I get where I'm going, I still have a Scoob to play with.:

Used to pull a folding camper (like half a caravan) with my 540.
Should of seen the looks when you burn off some tosser who's trying to stop you pulling onto the motorway in front of them........


Priceless

Not gettin a tow bar fitted to my scoob tho - no chance! Mrs' focus will have to do - those wet hillstarts are a bit hairy tho feel like the cars wheelying, front goes that light.

That's nothing. On a recent trip along the M4 approaching Bristol I saw the following three cars in a row. An MY03/04 STi, blue with gold wheels, towing a trailer , An EVO8, followed by an MY03/04 STi police car, in full jam butty paint job.

Picked the wrong day to leave the camera at home.
