No, it'd probably be worse! He's mad!

Toyota Aygo Towing Limits, kg: N/A

Dangerous probably!

He can't pull a rabbit hutch with that let alone a caravan. What is his registration, ill report it to the police if you don't. :rolleyes:

That is about as unsafe as you can get to be honest, the car simply isn't heavy enough to keep the caravan stable.

Jimmi · 10 Jan 2007 at 18:22

And the cars brakes wont be anywhere near powerful enough to stop it in an emergancy

Firestar_3x · 10 Jan 2007 at 18:22

Possible problems if they had to go up a steep hill during the drive.

Sod telling his dad, perhaps the guy should possibly go take his theory test again. Your "friend" sounds like a complete idiot to be honest.

Just make sure he doesn't go too fast and that he knows what to do if the caravan tries to say hello to the side of the car...

Firestar_3x · 10 Jan 2007 at 18:27

Its such a bad idea its the sort of thing you would see on 'Police Camera Action'!

You know how tow weights work, yes?

Nazbit · 10 Jan 2007 at 18:29

That is a very bad idea.

Does your friend know anything about driving/his car at all??

OMG, you are just as delusional.

Just incase you missed it:

IT WON'T BE OK, REGARDLESS OF SPEED. THE CAR IS NOT HEAVY ENOUGH TO TOW!!!

Informational Video about caravan towing and small cars:

It's illegal.
He won't get far till the old bill stop him and make him leave it in a layby for the raggas to pinch.
I don't know the law but it goes something like the car has to weigh X amount more than what it is towing.
So unless the caravan is a biscuit tin that is empty he is ******.

Your mate is crazy. I have no idea why they fit towbars to aygos. It's just stupid.

For the same reason they fit towbars to sports cars, some ppl are just retarded.
