Grev Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Good afternoon all, Since joining this forum I have received some great advice, and having looked around there are some really interesting and informative topics on CT. There are some characters and a few who like to shake things up a little with controversial comment or viewpoint, I believe it is what makes a good forum great. However I have not come across the most vital of topics. ....(it may be here but I've not seen it) What would be your ideal/dream outfit? Now before any of you start mentioning about high heels and sequins I am referring to tow car and caravan. The more exotic and unusual the better the only rule is it will have to work in the real world, so no Ferrari 250 gto coupled to a 26 foot Hobby!! So to get you started mine is: Aston Martin Rapide S pulling a Swift Conqueror 645 this would be a 97% match with enough room for two of the kids (the youngest ones) plus a lot of fun exploring once we reach the South of France. Your turn. ....... Quote We only went in to have a look!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your turn. ....... I think you may have broken your own rules as the Rapide doesn't have homologation for towing so your outfit can't exist.

Woodie106 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) He did say Dream/ideal . Ste But he also said it must work in the real world. I have seen an Aston Martin with a tow bar. The bloke who owns the marina we store our motorhome in tows his jet ski on the back of his Aston. Not sure exactly what model it is though.

Grev Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 I think you may have broken your own rules as the Rapide doesn't have homologation for towing so your outfit can't exist. It would appear that they do however exist! http://www. ebay. co. uk/itm/13-PIN-ADAPTER-CONVERTER-FOR-Aston-Martin-Rapide-CAR-TRAILER-CARAVAN-TOW-BAR-/291171043566 https://www. flickr. com/photos/victor_sween/8542224928/ I will definitely be sticking with this as my dream outfit Quote We only went in to have a look!!!

Marks Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) I think a Range Rover pulling an Inos, or an American RV, a 400hp pusher with quad slides.

AlfaEuropa Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Lotus Europa and Pennine Fiesta (i'll happily break the 85% myth rule guess). Failing that a Disco and Swift Challenger 586 (they don't do any decent layouts in the posh ranges!) Don't think I could put up with the interiors of any of the 5th wheelers I've seen.

There's a couple of UK based dealers who make their own interiors now that are much nicer than any of the American ones. They have very nice leather sofas & the wood veneers are light European colours as opposed to the dark drab American ones you see. Is be specing from new so Could pick & choose fabrics & veneer colours etc. not only that, but it would give an excuse to get a big pick up :D Quote I refer you to the Rt Hon Member for the 19th Century.....................pictured just to the left of your screen..................

I definitely don't want a big pick up though, so it's back to hoping Vanmaster get going again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
