Bored were you ???? Lets see you there next year JP, Luke looked at the logs properly when he got home and as we thought the only gear that worked well was 3rd, when it went a bit squiffy the speed went to 175 !!!! We used virtually no nitrous as well so that was strange picking up 10 mile an hour but that was down to the solenoids being a diff rate to the default setting in the controller from the same company, im sure its pretty simple to sort at TDI so i'll get Matt to have a word and book some time and also have a chat with Ryan as we spoke about. We sussed the belt problem as well.

Wanted to get back and spend a few hours with the kids, funny you say that, just looking at box trailers now, like this one but not sure the tow fittings will work with my X5?

Very nice, even better if you was to tow it with a RV ;)

 

I was thinking i will just bunk in with you and the wife mate:D

 

 

Perhaps a bit heavy with car inside for X5

 

 

Really? looking at whats about i would need something that width for the supra, could drop a couple of feet off the lenth if i had to.

You'd need to change the hitch on the trailer. It's also possibly illegally wide to tow behind anything less than a 7.5 tonner.

I spoke to the guy this morning and it's sold anyhow, anyone know for sure what the max width trailer I would be able to tow?
