Come on everyone! I'm sure there must be many other members with tow balls who actually use them. Show us what you've got. I'd bet there are quite a few that are just as interesting as Hattman's and Roverowner's.
Somerville did the Vogue but they forgot to put the -sunvisors- on the back and front (I think they used one certain pic from the factory when they made it - the photo shows the van before the visors were put on it) Emailed them and asked but as usual..... no reply. They are about 50 quid so quite expensive....

Du behöver inte vara så. Vi kan inte alla vara födda i England

Wales is great. Memories of the Pen-y-fan (quick nips up and down) and back to the pubs in Brecon for a few beers and Jethro Tulls -Teacher- on the juke box. Doing section attacks up the streams in the Beacons. Oh the 70s

In comparison to Sweeden, yes I do. I'm only 3 and a half hours away on a good day 4 on a not so good day

3½ to 4 hours, gosh. Must be some windy roads Takes me under 2 hours from Linköping to Stockholm which is 200km although it is near enough a straight road. In 4 hours I can be in Helsingborg on the south coast. Mind you they don´t have as many sheep
