Love the PH sticker. hehe

It's just slightly incongruous...

Like a National Trust sticker in a Lambhorghini (plenty of wealthy car owners are NT members btw).

I keep meaning to line them up and get a pic of that!

We have an A6 2.7 quattro which pulls it very nicely smile

Yes Don, I can't describe the feeling of mirth and silliness as I was putting it on. The colour is the same as the other decals also. All in good taste wink

I might have owned a Ranger once, I often dreamed of a Senator. Very posh....

Haha great, should get ma dad to put one on his caravan, n while we're on this point, do you not get annoyed by the steriotypical views that caravan-ists drive massively slowly and clog up roads?
And people are desperate to overtake as soon as they see you? Then slow down when they past.
What normaly happens with my parents is that people overtake , then a mile or 2 later, we have to overtake them back.
Same with the motorway.


This steriotype only stands if it's being towed by a kia reo, or a ssangyong hehe

Well it's been an education for me towing this bloody box. On a motorway I normally sit at 85+ mph and I am not often over taken...it's a bit different now and I might push 65 mph on the sat nav reading at points.
Most truckers are very courteous and flash me to pull back in.
I did on one of my first ventures have a car try to overtake me on a blind bend on a Herefordshire B road. He dropped back half way when another car approached. OMG. So it's an education for sure!

Whilst a stable set up I have had my fair share of anxiety this year! Overall though we love it. As a dad with an 11 yr. old girl and two dogs it suits us down to the ground. Looking forward to an October break in it too. Have wanted one for some time, so pleased to get it now. It's got a motor mover too which is ace fun to move it about. My biggest remote controlled toy by a mile!

Thought you guys might think it was sacrilege on the sticker front wink
I could do a full PH wrap?
