The Full Monty

[Dar]

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.

Indeed, I will pop up the barn any time now. My 306 is just too nice to take on all that mud and stuff.

I will continue to bring the GTI-6 to the Cheltenham meet, I like to keep a nice French car along to piss off BTlol

[burgo]

hmmmmm didnt you get this a while back or was it someone else who got a 4x4 as a tow car aswell??

[Ernie]

Na that was Chris.

And looks sweet Dar but were are the steps to get in lol

[draper]

would you even notice the nova on the back ?? lol

[Dar]

Burgo as Chunny said that was Chris with the Isuzu Trooper. After being in that one towing our Novas I decided what I wanted was that type of vehicle for towing. Because as Mr Draper has pointed out you don't even know your towing a trailer, which is great because im ultra parinoid when towing.

[Lee]

Get a transit, it handles even better with a nove swinging around on the back lol

[Dar]

Can't wait to see what they can do Chris, i've just been driving mine about all day getting little bits and bobs for it. I also love the fact that I can get under it and work without having to jack the bugger up.

Riggy, got to have a Vaux towing a Vaux......well not really..
