Towing

Was thinking would a 1.1i saxo beable to tow a bike trailer with an SV on the back of it, with all my kit in the car, it would be err cramped I guess with it all in there.....but could do it?

How much are tow bars as well?

Ended up with smaller car after the escort was written off last month.

All self fit, bit of wasy spannering though! I should think you'll be able to do it, ask Luckypants, he knows a fair bit aboout towing stuff I think.

Thx mate I'll have a look at it, but you think the lil car can pull all that? I don't want to mess up the car nor take for ever getting there!

Trailer and bike weigh, what, about 280kg? That's like three large mates in the car as well as you. You'll never break land speed records, but it'l do it!

I have a picture of richies car at AR07 with i think 3 people in it, a jambo badge, tim in belgium side skirt trying to hold it back and it struggled but moved lol. More to the point it pulls his bike and the car IIRC is an old peugot 206 or summit like that.

I'm having a towbar fitted to a 1995 1 litre Micra purely for towing my trackbike around. It falls easily within the premissable towing weight. I think I over did it when I squeezed two Suzuki TS50Xs in the back of it though.

So it should be fine towing the sv track bike then! Sounds good I just need a tow bar, as someone at work said I loan their bike trailer off then if I need to, has to be the cheapest way of doing thinsg right now, that way I can save money as well....Ace

Also are all tow bars the same as well? Could I take the tow bar of the saxo and put on it a 407SW? If so I'll get my mum to insurse me on her company car, its a lot bigger and faster!

(also I have decided to sort on the can on the bike, bad idea its gonna take a while)

Im not sure about general rules/regs, but my dads business only let employees drive the company cars. Someone actually got sacked for teaching their kid to drive in one.

Anyhow can she insure you on a car that isn't hers or yours?

Easy hand over money, my names goes on insurance I put my foot down, sorted! Its more of the case will my mum let me lose in her car
