BXProject

Not wishing to be a party pooper, and I've debated wether to say this or not matey Vagina Jay, but a friend of my dad's nearly lost it towing a caravan with a BX; it's only disadvantage being light weight. I know you know your shit so I won't/don't need to go on, but do take it easy

Don't panic y'old tart!

It be fine, car will be loaded right up and the 'van is only 950kg.

Doin' a Clarkson enraging 50mph

Took it out for a long run yesterday with the car empty and it felt good. I have to admit the 'van looks huge on the back of the BX but size isn't everything

Well fuck off then....................

What's all this about a caravan then Jay? Did I miss summat? You gettin' all middle aged on us then?

Ah. That's in some super duper secret area that lowly little me isn't allowed to see...

I vote you in hunny bun

But he hasn't yet performed an act of oral love upon all of us!

You haven't asked...

Matt, can you perform an act of oral love upon all of us?

Yes, but I will point out that there is a big difference between 'can' and 'will'...

Mat, WILL you perform an act of oral love upon us?

Oh shit, what have I done?

You'll have to get me VERY drunk. More than Stratty 2009...

fuck, but then you'll be dead, and there's no fun in just shoving the old chap in a dead mans mouth!

Don't knock it till you've tried it....erm.....ahem.....apparently.

Anyway, moving (swiftly) back to caravans, my old man used to tow a 4 berth 1 ton caravan behind his BX for years, said it felt very stable compared to standard sprung cars (he even towed it with his GSA which although stable was a little underpowered...)

I've towed a loaded car transporter behind mine (total weight about 1800kg I guess ) with no issues. Equally, I've towed a similar weight on a trailer with poor brakes and that was terrifying! I've also pulled a big Ifor Williams trailer for a short distance where the hitch was too high for the car (probably designed for 4x4 hitch height) and that was a nightmare too. Basically, set up right you'll be fine, I think the BX won towcar of the year a few times in its day.

I think that is/was a falicy...

Anyone?

The caravan club made it tow car of the year twice IIRC, but I dont think it ever won any official awards other than that?

HP Sprung Citroens rock when it comes to towing - FACT.

Diesel car made it towcar of the year, sometime around 87/88 and I think it was a TD.

I`ve occasionally towed trailers with other cars on, using the 19 N/A. I found it coped well whenever I used it. Really no issues at all and I towed one all the way down to Ross on Wye once, so wasn`t just on the flat.

Ahhh, sorry luvver, i thoughts you were in the throng (or is that thong?)...

I second bandit...
