You may or may not have seen some attempts to get up to that sort of speed with a caravan using the RC developments Evo on top gear - didn't make it to 140mph despite having a slight 4-500bhp more than a PPP (although it was hampered slightly by a major engine failure

That car has had more engine rebuilds than all of the P1's put together

Do you think a dump valve and a cocklink would give me more torque?
That was the biggest caravan we could get due to the manufacturer's weight limit.

There's a great story on the Lotus 7 Club Forums about one member of the L7 Club who was driving home in his scooby one night and he happened to pull up at some traffic lights alongside a Maxed-up Saxo. 'Saxo Dazza' shot away from the lights hoping to claim a major scalp, but wasn't too impressed when the Scooby kept up with him and slowly pulled out a lead............
Especiallly when he saw the Lotus 7 on a trailer behind it
I never towed with mine, but I'm told they're great tow cars (...don't flame me!) but I'd shudder to think what it does to the fuel consumption.

Fuel consumpion is only a few miles less to the tank due to an easy right foot!
The Scoob is a great towcar and very sure footed too.
All those who say they don't like caravans should try it and stop listening to Jeremy Clarkson!
