puddlethumper Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I'll have to get a photo of my mates Smart with tow bar and a LPG filling point. Although the LPG goes into a bottle in the back for his motorhome use. He gets some looks when he pulls up to the LPG with a bloody Smart.

J W Pepper Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Today I saw a 15 plate Fiat 500 with a towbar and locally there is a Honda Logo with a towbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Those 200*cc Apes actually go OK (relatively speaking). The council used to use them where we were living in France. They'll get up to 40ish given a long enough straight. warch and sdkrc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlosfandango Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 An ambitious towbar you say? Picture taken over 30 years ago - yes I still own it and no, it doesn’t have a towbar anymore. I did use it for towing (once) and recall a ‘tank-slapper’ moment on the way to the dump with a small trailer when I was driving a little too ambitiously..

Never going to hold the weight of the tow bar let alone anything being towed. ( which given the tow ball is a wooden kitchen drawer knob, isn’t happening anyway).

Boredom and a surplus of receiver hitch extensions; it's of no use, the things will bend the minute you try and turn a corner and ground out just as quick.

Yaris 1.3 has a towing capacity of 1050kg, Brian James is 600kg empty. Towed it no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
