With a Golf.

Thoughts?

If i were to get a braked trailer from somewhere, would the golf pull my 90?

Diesel is getting so expensive - I get private miles included in my tax
from work, so i would be able to get to a lot more places to play.

I'm now too far removed from the UK to comment in a legal sense, but
common sense and life experience says *NO*.

Seconded that opinion.  Now Golf's are good cars and I'm sure it would cope
in an emergency but it's not up to the job and I would definitely say you
would get a 'pull' for that. The insurance wouldn't like it and would use it
as a get out in the event of an accident I'm sure.  Deffo NO.

Yes, but don't get caught.  (c:

A RR Sport has 4 doors, and is a type of car.  ;-)

More likely to get away with a Freeloader 2 tho and they are a nice looking
motor IMO (not driven one yet)

A lady I work with had a D3 for a couple of years, and it was back in the
workshop more often than it was on the road. She was considering seveal
options for a replacement, and eventually went for a Freeloader (LR offered
her thousands more for a trade-in than Toyota etc).  In the six weeks she
has had it, it has been back 3 times (and off road for two of those weeks)
for an undiagnosed issue of failing to start/poor running, and she is
seriously considering rejecting the vehicle.  Ain't looking good for LR
round here ....

There's a certain BMW round here thats behaving like that.  It's going
back next week, and a refund *will* be forthcoming.
