...unless he was taking it to the nearest cliff....
.. A scoob and a caravan owner - does not compute - error error
...perhaps it was a morris marina with a scoob body kit (and one of those fecking fishes on the boot)
Aaaaaaaaaaaagh

so why the fuss? (that'll get a tirade)
Personally loathe caravans - but Scoooby is great tow car with power/torwue and AWD. I have towbar for boat, and have amazed several owners of larger german estates stuck in mud by hauling them out without fuss.
Also 1200 miles and not seen!! but heading to North Cornwall soon so perhaps Eagle Eye Borro might spot me??

OK - so perhaps my amateur mechanics not good
but why are turbos crap for towing?
Diesels with low down torque are ideal,...but surely they all have turbos now?
If drive with steady right foot don't always need to explore full power curve of turbo and rip off tow bar!
Thought main factor against Scooby was weight - heavier tow vehicles tend to be better/safer.
ENOUGH - I'm discussing TOWING on Scoobynet
Argh - time to go home
and collect car with newly fitted PPP
oh, and new towbar
heh

great caravan pics!
Messiah - don't remove that tow bar:
a. let's mates take ****/keeps them amused
b. helps the 'stealth' image - looks like an ordinary japo-hatchback to the uninformed
c. great in traffic - people wary of getting too close
d. dead handy for hauling stranded friends out of mud/ditches etc
