Tow hitch

[Steve]

Yea, Unfortunately I've just found out that you can't legally put a trailer on a MK2, MK1 & 3 are ok though.

Bugger!

Any more info on this?

[Pete JB]

You can't get a tow bar fitted to a Mk2/2.5 if you tow anything it is likely to void your insurance as. it states on the registration document towing weight 0Kg. The rules for Mk1s are different.

[Steve]

it states on the registration document towing weight 0Kg.

I can't see where it gives that info on the mk1 reg doc though?

[Stig]

Can I ask - is it for towing people want these or for mounting bicycle carriers etc?
Cos' if its the latter, you ain't towing and therefore voiding any insurance etc

[Pete JB]

For me it would be to tow a very small trailer, so I'm buggerred.

how about this one

[CashelMX5]

John, what's this fettish you have about trailers?

[leamyj]

No fettish, just think that they look cool and unusual..part of the reason I opted for the 5 in the first place.

[CashelMX5]

Have to agree that the one in the picture is real cool and what makes it even cooler is that its in IRG.

[leamyj]

No Tom, the REALLY COOL thing about that pic is the lambo doors

[CashelMX5]

Geez John, missed them from looking at the trailer but yea! they really makes it ultra cool. Wonder where I'd get a pair?

[franksm]

I bet the owners of that car are naturists, and that's really a nudist camp in Germany. Just a suspicion I have, nothing to back it up.

[CashelMX5]

Frank, That's a good one, please explain your analysis

[franksm]

Can't explain it really - have always wondered what sort of car naturists drive, especially after seeing them pop up (matron) on Ren and Stimpy from time to time.

When I saw this pic, it all clicked into place. "THAT's the car"

[leamyj]

Oh God, Frank's probably gonna turn up at the next run in his birthday suit
