Our Freedom has a plated 630kg unladen weight with 750kg all up. It’s kind of easy to forget that it’s on the back at times, especially in a van.

The Polish builders used to use a Polski 126 in their ads can’t find one off hand so here’s another

Yep made by them ,they used the wheel( & I think brakes from 126) the also made a small fibreglass trailer that again used the wheels & engine cover lock/handle (possibly hinges for the lid.

If Richard was still with us he would've known.

Only used on farm tracks though, it didn’t see the road. The other stuff with tow bars were either blocked in or had flat batteries, and the twin axle trailer needed to go up to the stables.

There was a photo going round a while ago of a new Fiat 500 towing an IBC on a plant trailer 😅

Meanwhile, in the office of the car supermarket I'm currently at:

Just found thing whilst clearing out some old pics....

I can only assume the situation WAS initially reversed, until a breakdown happened 😅

(bonus flat tyre for extra idiot points too!)

What's the problem? He's got beacons.  That is the vehicular equivalent of diplomatic immunity.

Is it just me that automatically read those last 2 words in a South African accent? 🤣

You have to worry about other decisions they may have made in their life.

Maybe not quite within the confines of ‘ambitious’, but I think that this image of an air cooled V8 Tatra 613 towing what looks to be a Tatra 57 has a delightful aura of shonkiness to it.

Imagine what their house is like. Built off a a smear of mortar over some paving slabs probably. 🤣
