Car's with engines smaller than 1.3 have no right to have tow balls because the engine just doesn't have the power.

Put 4 fat people in a mini and see what I mean.

Top Gear did something similar to a car test.
They got 4 fat people in a small car which was driven by the stig and the car was so slow.
 
Good thing you don't have to do laptimes with a trailer hitched :lol:

It's very useful, not to tow a caravan or something like that. Just to move things around in an open trailer that wouldn't fit in your trunk.

Well,...

Ford Fiesta Zetec S (only took this picture because, for some reason, I thought it was a Fiesta 'Metal' :p):

Nissan 370Z:

My 2nd Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG (managed to get a picture of this one :)):

Ssangyong Korando GLS (:D):

RenaultSport Renault Clio '04:

MG6 Turbo (been trying to find one for ages! :)):

Citroen C3 Pluriel 'Cote D'Azur'(?): (not sure if its some sort of Limited Edition C3 or whatever it is but this is the only decent photo I could get from where I was sitting(:(); at least it shows the 'imortant parts' :)):

Mini Clubman (no, not really 'Rare', but look at the Vinyls! :D):

That's me for now; I'm actually surprised the pictures turned out so well (tell me what you think), considering it's a standard iPhone camera.

I actually have a Samsung Camera (very good), but I have yet to take it out with me.

Zm.

That fiesta is an undercover car

My dad has a 1 litre (officially 0.8 litre) 4x4 that can pull a trailer just fine. (the one in my avatar) Top speed is around 100kmh though due to the short gears. Not that we actually go beyond 90kmh anyway, just to be safe.

Sorry that was misconstrued, I was asking if it was a undercover car, because you can see the little strips were the blue lights are.

Don't worry, I didn't take it wrong; I really don't think (im pretty sure) it's not an undercover car. In fact, it really can't be, considering it's parked in the same place consistently. ;)

Grayfox, I'm quite jealous of you managing to get a picture of one of my favourite cars. (Copen). :)

Good, because sometimes on here I say something and people jump on it and a massive argument breaks out lol.

Bad choice of rims on the Lambo imo. Love the way it stands out in it's first photo.

Dude, where the hell do you live to get amazing spots like these everyday!

Not where Jai, Icy J, astrodude, or Rue live, that's for damn sure.

Cleveland, Ohio. 1/2 my shots are in Chagrin Falls, a cute little old brick village close to where I grew up, and where I have a farmers market and restaurant deliveries a couple times a week. The town straddles a 100' wide local river with a 30' waterfall visible from the bridge. This river valley is home to some of the most ridiculous estates in the Cleveland metro area, beautiful green trees everywhere. And wandering around town on a nice Saturday afternoon, about 1/2 the voices you hear will be speaking a language other than English. Spain Spanish, Italian, German, Russian, Arabic, Japanese, etc.

All the good cars in the area come to Chagrin Falls, eventually. So this is drawing on a population of 1-1.5 million, with an above average chance of being wealthy.

But being kind of out in the country, I also get a good mix of cars. Not just European supercars, but classics, American cars, real collectibles, etc.
 
Seriously, I just went out to make sales calls on 3 Indian grocery stores, and this is what I get. Okay, maybe I fudged my route a bit to make sure I'd pass through certain neighborhoods, but a lot of this stuff is legit.
