My old man used to tow a 1/4 tonner behind a Jag! What was really crazy was that they had to tow the boat heeled over to fit in height or something silly like that...

Nah mate, the Reliant is a proper hand lay up chop strand job, where the Feva is rotomoulded...

you dont know how rong you are. the reliant wont go round corners at speed. the feva doesnt break easily either, all the reliants ive seen have been falling apart. and fevas arent outdated lumps of rust.

 

edit: anyone noticed how lukes being realy quiet on this thread?



Er...I think you're missing the point...Reliants don't rust.  They're made of fibreglass...

Who said you need  some piece of euro trash to go at 60mph. I have towed my 12 at well above the speed limit which is 110km/h,(68mph), Have been booked at 130km/h and got let off. And have been to 140km/h+

Tow vehicle Worked Ford Fairlane like a Vaxhall Monoro.

Don't try this at home or on the street unless you are a professional
