Anyone on here?

How can someone have enough good taste to buy an Aston (albeit a white one ), and at the same time have such bad taste to have a caravan!

The best bit is the wire trailing out of the boot to the caravan

[Bincenzo]

I'd kind of expect it from a DB9 owner, but a Vantage kiddy, no way dude!!

[LordBretSinclair]

The Blue One might follow up on that idea - it'll save him hotel costs

What a nob. Don't Aston expressly say the cars aren't suitable for towing? I'd imagine his 3 monthly clutch replacements will suddenly make that caravan seem very expensive...

What astounds me more is that a V8V has enough power to tow a caravan

You would never see a DB9 owner pulling a caravan......or even owning one.........only the great unwashed and V8V owners !

I knew we'd all see it happen one day, it's as bag as the Porker I saw a few weeks ago driving through Chorlton with a roofrack with bikes on it, I took a photo of it but it turned out crappy.

Does that include statics
Jockman might have something to say about this

I am in the middles of Wales at the moment but I shall treat you all to some piccies upon my return

Top Gear did it as well.

Where did he get the towbar from?
I don't think these cars are approved for towing.

[krisdelta]

what a bonkers combo - probably a wrap on the V8V ? Looks like an early one?

[V8LM]

I remember looking at this clip when it was first posted (2008) - isn't it a clever(ish) video mock-up? The registration on the van appears different to that on the car. Why would one be videoing a caravan as they approached it from behind as they wouldn't have known what was towing it?

If it is a mock up..... It's a bloody good one...

If I had to put money on it, I'd say its real

In a lot of foreign countries caravans and trailers etc have there own individual registration number

OK, didn't know that.
