KenEvans Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Returning from Wiscombe who passed me with their silver estate towing a yellow trailered Caterham at about 90mph in the third lane of the M5??!! 😳 Tsk Tsk Ken Edited by - kenevans on 13 Sep 2004 10:06:36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david nelson Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 It was not me but another class 3 runner(may be), If he has posted by the end of the day I might let you know. But there may be other silver tow cars with a yellow on the back. David Edited by - David Nelson on 13 Sep 2004 08:11:31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robmar Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I know who it was 😬 on the way back from places like curbugger and llandow he usually passes me at a similar warp speed in fact towing I always seem to be passed by everyone, I usually stick the cruise on at 60...nothing to do witht he fact that the little alfa 1.6 won't pull much more ☹️ rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Williams Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I'll have you know it was less than 90. Isn't it nice how my fellow class 3 competitors all landeed me in it 😬 Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenEvans Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 Ha! A. Williams was it? I thought as much I don't think 80-90mph towing is too much of an issue really as long as your towing vehicle is significantly heavier than the trailer and Caterham, especially with a stabiliser. But you WILL get pulled for using the third lane if there's an unmarked plod amongst the traffic. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Williams Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Thanks for the tip Ken, beleive it or not I try realy hard not to go out there. Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenEvans Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 S'ok Adrian - my pleasure Of course, if I'd been making the same progress I'd have hit the M54 just before they closed it off for repairs at 9.30 diverting me into the countryside during a monsoon-type downpour! ☹️ Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john powell Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I had a shocking weekend with road closures The whole country seemed to have grinded to a halt. I missed the M54 by about 5 mins on the way home and had to go all the way up to Nantwich in a monsoon ❗ Poor old R400 had only just dried out last nite when I put her to bed. Enjoyed the W/E and have put an order in for some mud and snows for next years event as they will most definatly offer better traction out of those hairpins.
