Great Tow Vehicle!!

Post by bennyboy »

Well yesterday me and rob sold our rather large trailer (1.1ton unladen, 22ft long twin axle flat bed) to some moroccan dudes who rang us up from ebay.. anyhoo they turned up in what we can only describe as the worlds worst tow vehicle....

A 1.3l GX Micra :smilielol5: Look how much it drops the rear end of the car and look how high the back of the trailer sits!!

Oh and nearly forgot.. they were then on there way to a Salvage yard to collect another micra!!!

That's mental! And highly illegal! No way a micra can tow that trailer even empty!!

Is that for real? :smilielol5:

Looking at the rear of the micra its almost on the floor as it is... I reckon they will get pulled, they have to. Brilliant!! 1.3.. Did it struggle pulling away?!

When it brakes, the trailer will push the micra along, i bet they are getting another one to tow the trailer when the red one blows up.

They'll probably stick the other Micra on the back end of the trailer to counter balance the weight. Easy :eek:
