I thought I'd started a thread on this chap but can't find it.
He's a motoring journalist with a liking for older cars. His take on the 'green car' is not to buy a new small turboed hatch but to fettle something destined for the scrap yard and keep it going. He has a small fleet of old bangers.
His other interests include 4x4s, electric vehicles and facial hair.
Ha!....Reminded me of my 'caravan trips!' when the kids were younger!
Oddly, I quite liked towing the 'van'.
His car ought to be fine towing, but it's an old van (heavy) so will try 'bully' the car especially when it's packed with kit.....I had that when towing with my old 2.0 Granada.
Ended up with the Ghia 2.9 4X4 that was really the 'Mutts'......And would 'romp-up' windy hill fully kitted at 90 mph plus!..... :frantic:
I must admit that I used to love towing our 'van, We were like gypos during the school holidays, in summer we'd disappear somewhere for the whole 6 weeks, a week or so in each different place, the kids and the dog loved it. A 4x4 helps though, makes towing a breeze
Get off the beaten track in rural France and you'll still see these things along with the old Citroen H vans, Jono. This fella's great, I love his videos - must visit his channel and look through them all
