Fellas...................done the maths before cos I was going to pick up a car too, and assuming a trailer weight of less than 650kgs, with a towcar that is an omega 3.0 elite estate, the biggest car you can put on said trailer and remain LEGAL is 625kgs......................just about a smart car................

SO, the answer is NO, you CANNOT tow a car trailer with any omega and pick up another car on a 4 wheel trailer on it. (except an old mini, an anglia or austin 1100, or a smart car.)

Sorry..................................... :-X


You don't need to be Einstein to do that sort of calculation  ;D ;D ;D :P :P :P

I'm in a good mood,actually!

Got from my place to north london on £22 of diesel instead of £35 petrol...............don't like the espace's drive, but liking the economy!!

AND it gets ALL my tools and kit in it without ruining the leather seats of my miggy too.
RESULT. :y

Downsides...........

Its FRENCH, its diesel, its manual,it drives funny, its red, its noisy, and its FRENCH

Advantages..................

My snakess and ladders go inside it, ALL my tools and cables fit inside it, it still seats 5, its CHEAPER to run than miggy, and I get charged for a car instead of a van on toll roads.AND it enables me to take miggy off roading, I will fix/update/rebuild/fit LPG without losing business and transport.

No brainer really............................. :)

Just wondering why you take Snakes & Ladders to work? Also take your Miggy Off Roading??
The "Window Licker Car" will be better on fuel if itsw on LPG!! :-?

is the car legal / drivable?

Maybe a train / lift to the car, collect it. Even if its not drivable, quick push around the corner and call the RAC?  :)

I passed my test in 1978, so presume that will be ok. The trailer Im hoping to hire is a purpose built 4 wheel car trailer, so I presume it will be braked. :-/

You passed your test the year I was born..

Sorry.. couldn't help but make myself feel better by saying that ;D
