Hey Red,

Random question. Did your astra have a tow hook on it? For trailers and the like?

As Freebo says, I'm attempting to get a car home.

So as you have an astra, Red. I thought I'd ask if it had a tow ball thingy then I could buy that from you then stick that on my mums car and be off.

Instead I got a Land Rover to use.

...eek.

I see now.

With its gutless engine, I don't think my car would have been any good at towing anything. Unless it was really small... Hence, no towbar!

What's the car you're getting?

Red man, read your own blog!

Might be getting a Land Rover Discovery diesel to tow with now. Should have enough grunt to do the job.

Ah, you got it then? Good man. <img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

The Disco will have more than enough grunt to do the job - and probably another two cars on top!

Well not got it "yet",

I'm going to down with the cash and have a good look. If I don't like it (rust) then I'm leaving it.

Not wishing to be negative; but the chances of there being no rust is close to 0% <img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' />
