Delema

Post by bobsnicholson »

We want to on occasions take a car with us when we go to places, mainly Europe in the Motorhome. Therefore we need a car under 1250Kgs.
We don't need another car to find parking for, so which do i get rid of//// The M5 is so good and too good and i love it. Never kept a car so long it's that good, so that ain't going, Shirley's Velar? well it's too new too comfy and loads of space, and it being the P300 S it's got a good bit of oooomph. The Caddy, 3 n bit years old 8400 miles, NO we both love it. Shirl uses a lot to go into town, finds parking it dead easy.
Bertie the Jag..............don't be daft.

THE BIKE, i could, but what's the point i would just replace it with a smaller one and use the change to go towards the towing car so the situation would not be resolved.
The trip to The Picos probably wont happen now with all the shit going on. We may do them in the RV early next year (with the tow car in tow :D )

I am rapidly coming to the conclusion we need a bigger house, or at least a house with more land around it to park stuff.

Suggestions welcome if you dare..

That would suit. Off out to buy some lottery tickets :D

Anyway it's back to the drawing board as it turns out A frames for towing are illegal in Europe, UK ok. So evaluating what to do.

They have them tow away Goldwings in Dubai. Awesome bit of kit.

This towing bizz behind the MoHo is looking unlikely now.....................but you never Know.
Meanwhile i am studying the bus timetables. :(

i've looked at a Honda Grom 125 but Sam still wouldn't want to get on the back..... so It still looks like Battery assisted or powered Bikes and If she doesn't like that, She can bloody well stay home :devil:

These have a kerb weight of under 20-stone (126 kgf/278 pounds) and a seat height of 84.5 cm / 33.3 inches unladen, but would squish down to about 76-cm / 30 inches when an average size man sits on it.
