OMG I WOULD NEVER EXPECT NICK TO SELL HIS BAJA!!!!!! I already told him i would never expect that at all. i kind of need a goose neck but for the moment the horse float is fine. did you get my u2u? i only just worked out how to use it :P Nick enjoyed the horse show :) and we went for a ride on sunday. im so proud of him, Echo can be so stubborn and Nick rode him like he has been doing it for.......a few weeks :P but he was good!!!! still want a bug! but might have to get a hard core buff car first :P

Maybe you coul put your horses on a diet so that they weigh less ???????

Get a 2L kombi camper instead of a beetle. That will tow your horses easily. You can even sleep in it at all-weekend shows :thumb

Hey there's an idea


Eirinn - June 17th, 2004 at 01:22 PM

My horses r big though and they weigh a lot, i dont think that a VW anything would tow them....actually thats a lie, but :( still doesn't solve my problem. and I have 2 horses to tow, its not like its only one..........COME ON HELP ME OUT :):):P

Unless you were really rich and you bought yourself a Toureg !!!!!

I don't know if you want to buy yourself a powerful car or 4wd to tow the horses and buy yourself a cheap cute little bug for when the horses are asleep ?!?!?!?!!?

I had the dilemma of having a small car when I bought my cabrio, so I made hubby buy a big strong subaru !!!!!


Eirinn - June 17th, 2004 at 01:47 PM

BUT IM 18 and i dont have a rich hubby:cryalthough i wouldnt trade my boyfriend in for the richest guy in the world coz i love him so very much! i think ill just borrow the pajero or the F truck for when im going to a show coz i would rather a cute little bug over an ugly big monster truck or somthing. :P

My hubby is not rich either !!!!!! But the bank is !!!!!!!

a kombi can tow anything: it's got plenty of torque and it's heavy enough to be legal for heavy loads. It hasn't got much horse-power though - no pun intended! Who'd have thought that you'd need torque for towing horses and not horse-power :P


baybuscamperkid - June 17th, 2004 at 05:04 PM

if in doubt, chuck a v8 into a kombi! that oughta do it!:thumb


Eirinn - June 17th, 2004 at 06:01 PM

Yeh but what about the range i live on?????:alien


ikube - June 17th, 2004 at 06:47 PM

New Turbo Beetle ? lol ~


Spook - June 18th, 2004 at 01:24 AM

The answer is simple.
Ride the horse.............;)


Anthiron - June 18th, 2004 at 09:33 AM

eirinn i reckon a 2l injected kombi would tow your float easy with one horse in it:cool:


Eirinn - June 18th, 2004 at 12:26 PM

But I dont want a Kombi :cry unless it was black and has a wicki white VW badge on the front:thumb


Anthiron - June 18th, 2004 at 09:06 PM

i dont think a split like the one u saw would tow it babe lol .........unless it has had a 2 litre conversion........
