• trikes - what's the point? 28 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  followed a big camper van yesterday, instead of the usual smartcar or micra, this one was towing a trike. It got me wondering what the point was: it's as wide as a car so no use for filtering through traffic. you sit low down so you get all the fumes you're exposed to the weather maybe I'm getting

  I just caught sight of a Citroen 2CV towing a caravan. As if this wasn't an absurd enough thing in the first place, I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that I'm pretty sure the caravan must have been extendable or something, unless you're supposed to sleep with your feet sticking out

• Is it modified? 2 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  Insurance companies always ask you this, but where do they draw the line? I am certain they want to know about the hot cam or chip, but what about the alloys or tow bar, or even the spoiler? Also, where do you stand if the last owner has fitted something you don't know about because he didn't

  I recently bought a tow bar, for my Citroen Xantia td estate. Where can I get advise on wiring the socket please. For example does the wiring loom for all the rear lights go to one corner and then over to the other side? This would enable me to wire from just one side. Thanks Mike Holland
