As a matter of fact I donearly every day on the Motorway hence the thread. And that reply gives me a feeling that you pull sheds in your spare time
I've just done a quick summing up of it's use for one year. ... £1560 + £2k + £1600 = £5160 .... Add cost of van etc... cheap IMHO 
People towing Caravans
Snip
Talking of their 3.5ltr 4x4`s, do they realise that the object they are towing is slapping the carp out of all the other vehicles whilst they are in the middle lane overtaking at speeds of 70mph and above
http://www.smartdriving.co.uk/Driving/DefensiveDriving/Speed/UK_Speed_limits.html 70mph is NOT a safe speed to be towing a caravan or trailer on any road. If being towed by a large 4x4 this imo makes it more of a reason not to do it as anything going wrong on the back would be felt less than using a smaller vehicle.
I see no mention in my statement you quoted which say`s the caravan is holding up traffic doing 70mph in the middle lane :shrug: That in fact is a seperate issue. Just in case you need to brush up on your highway code then take alook at the legal speed limits
You see no mention yet I quoted direct from your original post? your subject is/was caravans causing congestion and you mentioned the towing at speed thing. If you changed subjects halfway through I'm sorry but that's not very clear, maybe more punctuation and less smileys would have helped
What happens when a lorry or articulated lorry approaches a junction on the motorway which has vehicles queued up? Do they sit there and wait so they can carry on in the inside lane? A lot of heavy goods vehicles doing around 60mph on the inside lane will gradually approach the vehicle in front doing a slightly slower speed, the driver has the right to overtake that slower vehicle just like anybody else, they are by law not allowed in the outside lane whereas in a car you are. If you are travelling faster than them then under normal circumstances you would overtake them using the middle lane, so where is the hardship in using the outside lane to do the same thing :shrug: In a car you can drop a gear accelerate and make your move, the majority of lorries can not do this due to the way they are geared, so keeping it at a constant speed without having to go down through the gearbox is the most efficient way of driving the vehicle, keeping costs down is what it is all about. I have seen cars pull out of junctions in the past and have forced an HGV to brake heavily. First of all that kind of move can cause damage to the goods being carried, and secondly the amount of fuel used for that lorry to get back up through the gearbox and carry on at a steady pace is quite alarming. None of us are perfect when driving on the roads and I think some video re-construction shown as part of your test might give people an insight as to the effect they cause when doing some of these things :shrug:. It would be in the top band if it didn't and certainly has plenty of go 
There's also a problem with underweight cars towing caravans - IMO a 2.5 ton 4x4 is a far better towing vehicle than a lightweight car, even if the smaller car has more theoretical power.Whatever the law says, it is perfectly possible to tow safely at 70mph, just like it is perfectly possible to drive safely at 100mph. The most important thing is to load the trailer / caravan properly to get the right weight distribution. Fishtailing means the noseweight is wrong.
My tow vehicle won't do 70 without the trailer hitched up never mind with, so I won't be breaking any towing speed limits
if the police enforced these laws better.

If you are ****ed off by being stuck behind caravans, buy a faster car so you can overtake
bit of a sweeping statement about lorry drivers ,,,then you go on about a 7 1/2 tonner ,,,,
7 1/2 tonner = big ( white ) van
7.5 tonners can be driven on a car licence (as long as the driver passed their car test before a certain date) so although obviously not all 7.5 ton drivers are bad, they aren't anywhere near as well qualified as heavy goods drivers.
Time to release that pent up anger guy`s
85.09m. 3 shots but I'll stop there before I get addicted so I wont be too upset if I get beat
The biggest issue for me is on single carriageway roads with the idiot 2 foot behind any vehicle going slowly, refusing to overtake unless it seems there's a Bonneville Salt Flats straight length of road and then if that wasn't enough, there's another moron behind them again leaving no space. This leaves me with an option of doing 30-40mph in a 60 or passing all three vehicles at once. Obviously I take the 2nd option when I can without risks. This also makes it easier to justify having to buy a really powerful car to overtake safely- 1litre cars need not apply
Then watch the price of your goods go up even further Bazza
(humour alert)M6 :shrug: do it most weeks no worries, now Edgware Rd, London that fun, I do it every few months
) I tow safely and considerately towards other drivers.

I should make clear I could get a train to London, but I love driving in London, I just love the challenge of it all it's such good fun, the constant battle to get where you want to go
Usually on a Saturday late morning. :bonk:
Same here especially if it comes with an L322 to tow it with, that will be my next move though I could be tempted by the new baby
Lighter, more economical. Looking forward to seeing/roadtesting it. Dealers don't even know what it looks like yet. If you're going to have a RR, it's got to be the Vogue.
