    Hi, Wowzers!!! Nice looking car!!! My very first car was the same age as me, a 1963 Morris Cooper SS. The radio had tubes😂. It had been shipped to Canada by a gent who passed away, and his wife sold it to a guy who slolum? Raced it in the next town over, he sold it to my Dad for my 16th bday. I had to learn from my Dad about maintenance, or he wouldn't let me have it,lol, same as my dirt bike😂 My Dad had to make brake pads for it as he couldnt order any. I had a flat tire once, and 2guys lifted it up while I changed the tire,ha! Anyhoo, did you mention the towload of ur new car and how much ur caravan weighs? I got typing and now I gotta rewatch the video😅😅😅😅😅🦖🌞🌵

      Thanks for watching. The car isn't too bad at towing, it can pull up to 1750kg and our caravan is only 1450kg, could do with a bit more power, but it's OK. Stay safe👍

    Nice car! Reminds us of the MG GS we had in 2014, but yours is a LOT nicer. The GS couldn’t pull the skin of a custard…. Looks like Android Auto / Apple CarPlay built in? In terms of the dirt in the car, consult a calendar. If month=January then dirt = maximum! 😊

      It took about 3 hours and was fitted by Southport Towbars, a small local company. They have fitted our last 3 towbars and have never had a problem with them 👍

    Hi Dave could you tell me what the weight of your caravan is , as im new to this and I have purchased the same car, What are your thoughts as a tow car and do you think it could cope with a slightly heavier caravan ?. Thank you , Darren

    • @HitchUpAndTow
      @HitchUpAndTow  Год назад

      Not sure who Dave is, but maybe Mark can help lol. My caravan has a MIRO 1281 and a MTPLM 1450KG. The MG HS pull ok but is not planted as well as our last car ,Kuga, and it can struggle on steep inclines. Been away 6 times so far without any issues and have booked Cornwall later this year without any concerns. It's not the best, but it does the job
