I decided that I needed a better tow vehicle, the 307SW was ok but its just too new for bunging tools and the like in the back. Plus its not that stable at speed and I want to two the Nova knowing that I can go that little bit quicker without the trailer whipping and taking the two vehicle with it.
I also do a spot of marshalling for some rally's as well, so having a vehicle that could cope with driving a very muddy stage and not having to worry about it was also a consideration.
So there is the background. I have considered loads of vehicles including Volvos & Subarus but after talking with Chris and towing with the Trooper (Isuzu) I decided that something along those lines was the way to go. Anyway seen this on saturday and bought it. Its a Vauxhall Monterey 3.1TD and im chuffed to bits with it.

In a nutshell it's a long wheelbase Isuzu Trooper in draglol I took Chris and Jen with me to pick it up on Sunday since he owns a Trooper and could help me check it out. So many, many thanks go out to both of them for helping me out, its mucho apprciated:thumb:

It should pull the Nova along nicley and has plenty of space inside for all of my bits as well.
