""Of course, I never tug a caravan with it. Now Don, what do you have, and what does it do when you're hauling your little mobile home round the country? Huh? Naturally, I assume you own two cars, one behemoth for the annual fortnight of caravan-tugging and the other with an elastic band that gets you 80 to the gallon the rest of the time. Well?""

O.K. mate!

""Two cars, one behemoth for the annual fortnight of caravan-tugging and the other with an elastic band that gets you 80 to the gallon the rest of the time. Well?""

WRONG ON ALL COUNTS! Well done!........One Rover 75 2000cc diesel (unchipped), which does 46mph on motorways and 42mph overall if you drive in town a lot (which I do not). Pulling the caravan on motorways at 60mph (the legal limit) 35mpg using the Rover's amazingly economical cruise control. Having a fully functioning brain I plan my trips to maximise motorway use and avoid towns like the plague, rarely using ordinary roads for more than about ten to twenty miles on a two hundred mile trip.

No behemoth, and no elastic bands I'm afraid, and BTW, the caravan is used at least 20 times during the year, mostly weekends with perhaps one or two longer trips.

Your insulting and patronising attitude displays your total lack of comprehension of towing caravans, which is not surprising, since you are only interested in having slower traffic get out of your way.

And I'm still waiting for the answer to my question:...."So just what is it that you feel is so special about you and your needs that it renders you more worthy of consideration than the rest of the community?"
