Sorry about those extra options (I can't add them in once the poll has started
 ). I'll remember for next time!And now I know why the Marcos Owners Manual explicitly states a tow bar should not be fitted  I should have known!

Unregistered user?, Why not come in out of the cold? It's painless, free and opens other options up to you. Spare less than a minute of your time and register here, go on, you know it makes sense! |

If not a caravan-------a small car---------- to fetch help and parts if needed? (you see them on the back of those "4 wheeled diesel powered caravans"---followed one and couldn't work out why the Micra was so close to it --slipstreaming to overtake? The absence of a driver (though quite a few on the open road appear to be driverless, both physically and mentally!) gave me a clue.

Have taken several Marcos's on hols, always Europe always been a joy. Did 2,500 in the Mantis last year touring round France and camping. Infact both the LM and Mantis covered more mileage in France than the UK in some years!! Took and old 3 litre Volvo to Switzerland many moons ago. None ever missed a beat or let me down in any way. GT's in every sense

We've been on holiday in the UK for 17 days (7th to 18th and 25th to 28th of July) and we 've seen just one Marcos in the distance at the roundabout Trowbridge - Devizes
 . It was a maroon one coming from Devizes. We' ve been across the country from Folkstone to Cheddar and from Folkstone to Grantham. Where were all those Marcos? Perhaps they all were on holiday on the continent!

Took it last year and came back on a trailer (well, the car did... I had to come back in a hire car and then buy a train from Dover)
Hoping for better luck this year when I return to the South of France at the end of August (with the car).
How do they know it was a Big Bang if there was no one around to hear it?
