Land Rovers, what else!

Taken in 2010 , but the engine in BHC then belonged in the 107Sw, so it still does the job.

I don't have a photo but last Sunday i towed a Volkswagon Passat up a 1in6 hill up to Monsall Head in reverse gear in the snow.
Probably not the best gear to use but i could not be ar--d to turn it around.

I don't have a photo but this Sunday I towed a fully loaded artic up a 1in5 hill in low ratio reverse full camo gear in the snow and a Force 10 typhoon.
Probably not the best ........ OK how did you know I was exaggerating? Oh. of course I told you last week we don't have any snow,

another a couple of year back getting some timber for work in the snow in L29

As much as I love them, it must be really, really slow going when towing with a 1600. With the hills around here they struggle to pull themselves!

Rocky versus Milkfloat. Rocky -1 Float - 0.

Series One 80 · **Reply #21 -** Feb 11, 2012 - 20:08

there is an old marketing video showing an 80 pulling same size trailer fully laden with beasties!

Tom, is this a Drascombe Longboat behind BHC?

A hoss trailer:

It used to have tongue & groove boarded sides until I replaced them with old ally sheet.
Always wondered what vintage this old trailer is.
