Very good piece of equiptment with a clever mount that fits over a tow bar and turn's the ball into a square allowing you to fit a multitude of things on your tow bar ...including winches , bike racks , wheelchairs ,boxes and many many more !!!
I have fitted a vice from Machine Mart ...its a clarke 4" swivel base (although i have removed the swivel part at the moment ) for £11.99 + vat (part number CVR100)
Just thought i would share this info in case any one is ever in the need for a vice while out and about ...or even parked on your driveway for that matter ..
Its also lockable , but i intend only puting mine on when needed ..

Was I the only one expecting a picture of a sheep tied to the towbar? Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Transgenic tomato anyone?

Pretty much what went through my head when I spoke to JJ and heard a number beginning with "four hundred and...." I leaked a little bit of wee I was so shocked I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
