strangest thing you have seen being towed

[R1cho]

caravan being towed by a 2cv

ok i have started this as i want to know what the strangest thing is that you have seen being towed, myself it was a canal barge `trying` to be towed out of a canal by a ford mondeo, it had hit shallow water near a lock and could not move, in the end it turned out the prop had dropped down and was dragging, must say though the mondeo did a good job of dragging it out.......witht he help of a tractor :doh

On the Beeb's Countryfile a few years back, I saw an amazing device that helps in cleaning and treating cow's hooves. Basically, the cow walks into and is strapped into the device, which then picks the cow up and rotates it so that it's hooves stick out sideways.

I was amazed only a couple of days later, to see exactly that device being towed down the M6. Has anyone else seen a cow rotator being towed?

Surely that's not good for the cow's well being:p
It's bad enough when the dog sticks it's head out the window, but following a gravitationaly challenged cow on the motorway is a recipe for disaster:lol

[andrewk]

Errr ........ it was the machine I saw. I didn't say there was a cow actually in it.

:D

I know but my mind couldn't help seeing a cow at 90 degrees to the road travelling at 70 mph with it's ears and udders flapping away :lol

I saw a house coming towards me in Newzeland, wood clad house with a proper pitched roof, I found it quite common, when they move home, they move home! Just jack it up and tow it to the new plot.

A few years back I was overtaken by a car towing a glider, he was doing 80+ mph in the outside lane of the motorway. :eek:
2 offences there straight away.

The Glider was in excess of 12 metres, long as it had the usual box cover with the tail extension.

Length of trailer was far in excess of legal limit ( 7 or 8 metres? ), so is that a third offence ?

Wow nearly loose your licence on one trip.

Has anyone else seen a cow rotator being towed?
Loads of times.
I think unless you know what it is you are not going to guess.

I've seen part of a submarine on a transporter, dont know what part it was or where it was going, probably scrap.

err a regular domestic caravan on tow, but in turn towing another similiar tin tent.

ok there are showman's licences for double trailers, but would liked to have seen
how modified an alko chassis trailer to tow another, and what vosa would have said..

[Peasgood]

We used to do some odd things
And I'm glad to say I still do :)
This is a pic of my friends caravan, towed by his horse and cart. This was in the sand dunes at Talacre, about 30 is miles from home. He pulled the caravan all the way there with his horse. Got some funny looks, can't think why. :augie
Sadly he is no longer with us, but some good times were had.
I am in the pic, so go easy on the "pikey" comments

reminds me of an organ joke...

Fella is home from the army on leave and is in the church indulging his favourite hobby, playing the church's immaculate old organ.

The music is fantastic and suddenly theres a puff of smoke and a flash of light and the angel Gabriel appears.

"My son" says Gabe, "your playing is truly inspired and I've been sent down to grant you two wishes"

"Blimey" says the soldier, "I don't know what to say!".

He thinks for a minute and then says "Well first of all, I don't have an organ of my own to play, not even a small one; could you get me one?".

"Of course" says Gabe. "Now what about your second wish?".

"Well if I'm honest, I'd love more time to play and I hate being in the army, but its really difficult to get out. Is there any way you can get me discharged?"

"No problem my son" says Gabe, "Just give me tonight to get things sorted and tomorrow you'll have all that your heart desires".

So the soldier went home elated, ate his tea and went to bed.

Next day he woke up .......... with the organ in one hand and the discharge in the other.................:augie
