I'm getting the impression this shorter route involves driving through 2 college campuses, which is why you need the ABS and EBD 'cos you're usually doing 80mph and you don't want to run over any of Cameron's future slaves :?

Looks like he could do with some spring assisters. It'd be even lower if he wasn't sitting on the bonnet....

Shame about the two cyclists - reduced the headroom at the front of the caravan a bit too. :lol:

Now, unless I'm missing something obvious, why not put the bikes in the Caravan?

My 12 year-old Daughter once asked me if people were allowed to be carried in a towed Caravan and I said no because it was unsafe and they have no control over it should it become detached BUT wouldn't it be a laugh to be carried in one? especially after a few sherbets :lol: :lol:

Closest I got was in the back of a camper van.

No seatbelts so it didnt feel safe, but was a laugh.

Volvo 240. There was one in one of the driving games, GT4 or Forza 2 I think. Fun to upgrade and burn off the Skylines :)

Built like tanks, though not many have survived.

I remember playing Jenga in the campervan on a rainy day with a shaky uncle. It didn't go well.

i remember a summer holiday in donegal about 7 years ago, gale force winds and us in the caravan, i was in one of the bunk beds, but it felt more like one of them rodeo bull things.
but yes jenga in a caravan isnt easy, someone gets in or out and the game is lost. :x

the reason there isnt many of them big volvos is nutts corner and the demolition derby, there was always about 3 every time i went, strangely they didnt win all the time.
