I remember my first time out, I only went 60 miles and was such a wuss, I wouldn't go via the motorway! But everything worked and all was ok - the exhaust was blowing on the car, so I had that fixed while I was there! But all went smoothly after that. Enjoy, whatever the weather.

After your first "tow" it only gets better, we've had our plastic fantastic for just over a year and we love it, can't wait for the weekend for our two weeks in a field.
