thats one hell of a load! how did it handle?

my mog was quite happy towing the trailer, didnt need a gazillion revs or a fortnight to reach cruising speed. i reckon its better in the muddy paddock than our front wheel drive diesels even though it is really light on the back

more pictures please - I think this is my favourite thread

What about a picture of yours working, and it is at the moment

Post by **woodiesenfrance** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 2:50 pm

No pics - I haven't worked that out yet! - but I drive a trav as my everyday car and for business, and the OH uses a Minor van as his work vehicle. He & in the van are currently in Wiltshire helping his elderly mother, so if you see a French registered blue Minor van with a white roof & minilite copies say 'hi'.
(No need to do the Bonjour, he's a Londoner)

Its only half loaded in the picture!

I did not drive it on the highway like that, only across the field! Would imagine that it would have handled REAL bad loaded up like that!!!

This is a great thread!

My wife uses our Moggie to take her to work every day, but a saloon parked outside a Hospital would look really boring compared to the great photos here!

Cheers

hello -

This is one of our moggies in use - the 'modified one'. Used daily for work and pleasure - Steve's a school site manager. And here's our other moggie - non-modified - which I use daily for work and pleasure

I would have loved to have seen that traveller when I was on the Scarborough week rally

Post by **Peetee** » Wed Nov 05, 2008 8:28 am

Nice couple of cars there.
Scarborough eh? Feeling pretty sorry for ourselves at the mo as we've just had to cancel a 4 day break up that way.
