A driver spotted towing a car with a van strapped to the boot has been stopped by police in Gloucester.
The motorist had removed the front wheels, doors and engine from the van to lighten the load before hoisting it into the rear of a grey hatchback.
He then lashed the two vehicles together with one blue strap and set off towing the combo.

Seriously? He actually thought it was a good idea? (not searched to see if somebody asked about doing that in here last week)

The Extracargo of the car world?

Reminds me of…

That is an impressive level of bodgery.

He was not arrested but told he could be summonsed for motorist offences.

Really? “could”???

Lucky he didn’t kill any cyclists on the way – they would have upgraded that “could” to a “might” 😀

Silly Billy,if he had taken some time to wire up the tail lights and stuck on extended wing mirrors,he would have been good to go. 🙂

There’s a fine line between genius and idiocy.

I’m not sure which side that falls.

I can’t work out how they got it round corners with only one pair of wheels that steered.

He could have loaded the van up too and done some deliveries on the way 🙄

Looks like something from Top Gear…..

Eastern European by any chance?

Just based on some of the sights I’ve seen over there.

I can’t work out how they got it round corners with only one pair of wheels that steered.

Noisily I would guess.

Ha br, you beat me to it! 😛
