my father has a shogun sport which is almost identical but a car rather than a pick up, he likes it BUT he only does around 4000 miles per year in it due to horendous fuel consumption and very poor ride dynamics. it is a good car for pulling you out of trouble and will tow almost anything...

far far too young to pass away, so sad for the family and friends, I also lost a collegue today due to heart attack he was just 54 years old, i also lost a cousin not too long ago again to heart attack and just 43 years old, something about this stressfull fast pased life i wonder ?

just take the tyres off and i will couple them up to the back :~) the buggy should be ok for 90 mph shouldn't it ?

i had a t4 2.5 which was superb and towed very well indeed however the loan van i had when my gearbox failled under warranty was a 1.9 tdi 130 and this was a pretty poor, i would not have liked to tow with it. it did have 130 bhp but it really seemed to lack any real pulling power, with this in...

strange you should mention the battery buggies or powered invalid carriages to give them the correct name steve, we have had a massive increase in passengers turning up for our trains with these things and have had to take the decision to ban them all from travel unless they can be folded and...

we started our caravanning life due to our two cavalier king charles spaniels, prior to getting the dogs we always holidayed abroad. first came sam our dog and 1 1/2 years later sally our ***** (sams daughter)the caravan came very shortly after as we could just not leave them home for two...

i filled my transit with diesel before setting off to france and it cost £98, when i arrived at our house i filled up with diesel at a cost of 1.33 euro per litre aprox £1.15 per liter and it cost me about £50 for a journey from stockport to portsmouth then caen to our house st martin des pres...

i have to agree with john and lutz, the site in question and others such as whattowcar are very inacurate in a lot of cases, i had serious miss information regarding my seat alhambra and my ford smax from these sites, the worst one being whattowcar as most vehicles on the site are not british...

ive never had a problem with the 530 its been a very good aerial. i can't believe for one minuite the aerial is at fault here after all its job is to collect the signal and send it to the tv the tv then stores the information not the aerial even if its a week signal the tv is still responsible...

where did anybody say they where " major institutions of scientific standing" i just said they where major institutions in the caravan fraternity who happen to have conducted tests. do you have any scientific evidence to show that air flow only effects the upper area of the caravan ? its just...

but they are not dissimilar lutz they are both flat surfaces with a leading and trailing edge being pushed or dragged through air at speed. im totally cofused how you can push this thought that a caravan front of around 45 degree's angle up to the roof can possibly creat lift ? air will...

"The idea that a big square box like a caravan could act anything like an aerofoil is absurd. The changes in angle involved between nose down and nose up which could affect lift are very small and far outweighed by the effect of the sheer enormous frontal area which will always cause the front...

This is a copy of one of the pages on the national caravan council web site, right at the bottom is a link to the site with all the authorative information you need, it does seem to me from a little bit of "google" research that 98% of caravanners agree that you should not tow nose up, the...

was it not agreed a while back that the reasons for not towing with a nose up attitude was that the amount of air going in from the front of the van did not have enough exit area at the rear of the van resulting in instability due to the rear of the van being lifted by the air trying to escape...
