Whats the gross train weight on that you reckon?

Should have taken the back roads!! I've carried more on a MK5. You're know your overloaded when you need a push from a tractor to get you going up a 25% hill and when you get home your shock bushes are mince and your soaked in sweat from fear of riding first gear... or god forbid.... reverse!! :lol:

will be over on rear axle, and probably GVM as with a body on you could only just about load a focus legally, and the train weight will be loads over, probably not running a tacho either

If they are Challengers then, curb weight 1,890–1,920 kg (4,170–4,230 lb) per vehicle, so transit+trailer+upto 3840kg = :?:

I passed the number recog van today (Tuesday A64 Eastbound bottom of Tadcaster every week followed in the afternoon by firearms training either carriageway or A1 Bramham) behind a van towing a trailer with a non matching plate, did'nt see that did it! I like to get in the outside lane doing 60 passing a wagon take my time then pull in obscuring it so all the cocks in rep cars floor it and suddenly see all the bikes and volvos parked up and hit the brake.

and another observation: A1 Boroughbridge area Highways Agency always take a break between 6&7 pm Fridays, and can be found in Morrisons car park scoffing pork pie etc.
