And you think our 300 and 400 HP carriages can't do what my little gumba-car could.
Of course, we will all go to Hell for it. (I hear St. Pete is an real fan of our coupes - lol)
Ciao & Enjoy!

Haha, .... WHY?! I used to tow a three rail motorcycle trailer carrying a really heavy BMW R100RS with, ..... get this, ..... a 1500cc Fiat X-1/9!

Glad you all enjoyed the photo. That must be some sort of custom made tow hitch on the last photo - certainly wouldn't be possible to homologate something like that here in Spain, they have very strict rules on towbars and trailers.
I looked into this years ago to see if I could tow my 16ft speed boat, but Jaguar said it couldn't be done.

The remarkable thing about this photo to me, aside from the fact that he found a way to put a hitch on his car that could tow a boat this size is how the rear of the car shows almost no effect from the weight. Clearly, that is because he has a dual axle trailer so that the trailer itself can bear almost all of the weight, but still, there is usually close to or more than a hundred pounds of tongue weight that, bearing down on the extended hitch on the car, usually pulls the rear end down. This car shows almost no effect whatsoever.
