When I lived in North Devon many years ago the summer roads were filled with nice people towing caravans, and slowing the normal traffic flow up a little bit. I often offered advice to these nice people, but it was never really taken on board, or I think, much appreciated...

There is nothing they can say. The question is about "pulling" and we all know that a Griff has to be "pushed"

Low weight, short wheelbase, tow bar mounted about a yard and a half after the rear axle - yes, the Chimaera will be an excellent and stable towing vehicle...

I have often wondered what the effect would be if on overtaking a caravan one was to fire a flare into the side of the said caravan!!!!!!

(I mean, c'mon, they bought a fat-assed wheelbarrow rather than a good looking classic British sportscar so they can't be the sharpest tools in the box... )

As usual Phil, you are right with my logic on this one.

The fact that they haven't been in to comment so far would seem to indicate someone has tipped them off.
Who do we know that owns one of each I wonder?
Then there's that bloke that is happy to park his Chimaera outside the Growl every year... Are we sure he can be trusted? I mean he says; "I'm just a cook", but comeon that was this guy's story too

Is that the Fleace in Bingley?.. if it is, I had the same issue with my transit van there many years ago ... I used to help my mate out with his mobile disco and he was on at the Fleace... we went down this passage that starts out say 2 meters wide at one end but reduces down to 1.5 meters at the other!... you only realise when your wing mirrors start scraping on the walls .. mind you I did manage to get through (just) unlike the caravan!!!
