They are OK on the back of a Ford Transit 17 seater Minibus and other obscenely large vehicles that nobody really wants to own..The oversize Hobby's may well be called a tourer on the continent but in reality they aren't in the UK due to towing regulations Cheers Hobbynut PS.. Just sold my oversize Hobby for that very reason...Must admit I did a bit of illegal towing on the back of a Vauxhall Monterey but got slightly nervous whenever I saw a police car

Please keep fingers crossed for me that we get away with it, don't really want to buy transit for just 2 occasions. Kaym
