Fastest Tow Car in the World

200mph Tuscan R is the ultimate shed puller

---

RSR Racing were at Croft for the weekend supporting the Radicals. Team boss Lawrence Tomlinson was there complete with his Tuscan R.

Nice car
Just clear up the tow car point, I presume that the Tuscan is the fastest car with a towing hook installed, where as the Reyland Escort is the fastest car whilst towing... in the world !!

Ever get the feeling that someones missed the point ted?

[cacatous]

[anal]Can I point out that it is in fact a T440R not a Tuscan R as stated in your story.[/anal]

[PetrolTed]

Tuscan R <> T440R ?

[cacatous]

Well it's hard enough with people asking what a Tuscan RR is and an S and a 4.0 litre and a 3.6...

Ted, I think you need to start selling "points" in the shop since no one seems to be getting them.

It would look bloody ridiculous driving with a caravan behind the TVR entering a camping. "sorry mate, can you just move the BBQ a tiny bit"

And yes, first thing I searched for: the hook . . . a nice TVR accesoire

I saw a cayenne S towing manky old caravan yesterday.
First time I have seen a new shiny 4x4 used relevantly!

[batman_robin]

it is nearly as strange as what I saw yesterday on the M5, a Morgan towing a massive caravan...poor car

[RAW-SEWedge]

Couldn’t they have chosen a more striking colour ?!

[ultimasimon]

GTRCLIVE and I did a windup thread on the Ultima forum about towing a caravan for the world record attempt. Although is was a joke then, I have actually considered it seriously and would like to do it for real.

Care to donate a PH caravan then Ted? Or maybe a catering wagon would be more appropriate - Pies 'Matter' Would you be able to add this as an event to PF ? ! 128mph is nothing challenging.

We actually had one guy believe us as well

Details for the bored are here

Nice photo, parking was limited, i wondered how long it would be before someone posted this photo - i prefer the t440r without the shed..........

The fastest caravan puller and it's pulling 2 caravans! Now that's impressive
