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
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!!

I know its ridiculous but hey we wanted it gone and were'nt breaking any laws lol
But we were pretty stunned when they arrived.. Before we even greeted them Rob just shouted '' Theres now way your towing that trailer with that car!!'' they just seemed to laugh it off though?!

Is that for real?
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.

Well apparantly they have a van?! why they didnt use it i dont know? but the trailer is braked so it will probably stop the micra.
it seemed to pull away ok but i bet the clutch wont hold out long!

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