Also, to be towed w/o a trailer, it needs to be road legal. Only ocasions when you are allowed to tow a car over 750 Kg without brakes is in case of a breakdown.

Apart from the moral lecture, it looks kinda sorta weird, doesn't it??? :D

I always fancied a bus camper myself - not that im jealous or anything ;)

If your ever up north with your "animal" - I want a go :D
