Nice looking Mehari, I fancy one....

Re: Our family's 1985 Mehari As I say, we thought about selling it but it seemed a shame after 26 years in the same family!
Cheers 250 I'll remember that for nxt time. That's why it snaked a bit around 50mph

Re: Our family's 1985 Mehari It was nothing to do with the trailer swaying about, I stacked it because I wasn't watching where I was going.

I had a bloody close call with the 4x4 behind the Saab on the M42 - it got a wiggle going, which just tensed me up, and it got worse, and worse... I really thought it'd gone. By the time it sorted itself out (wish I could claim the credit!), I looked in the mirror - and there were two HGVs, side by side, 200yds+ back - with their hazards on!

Re: Our family's 1985 Mehari PS, no offense taken. I was a dickhead and deserve being mocked.

Oh yes; it is amazing just how fast it can happen. Years ago I met up with a friend of mine to recover a Charleston with an unwound gearbox. He towed the car away using an A frame, with his Mercedes E320. I had my car loaded full of bits and pieces that went with the car. Somehow we got the a frame on slightly wrong. I was following him so I had a grandstand view. At the first roundabout we came to the 2CV started bucking so violently it pulled the Mercedes sideways until it was almost sideways across the roundabout. It was scary watching it, I just hadn't expected a 2CV could pull damn near 2 tonnes of Mercedes sideways. Fortunately nothing was damaged or hit, but I've been wary of A frames ever since.
