I tow my car to pod for 3 reasons:
1: Putting spares in the boot scratches the paint
2: It cost me 80quid in fuel to do the London to Brighton run and I can do Home to Pod and back on 20quid in the van
3: I dont like sitting on the hard shoulder 1: On the way there when I could be racing 2: On the way home when I could be sat in front of the tele
Plus I have a van and a-frame sat there so surely I would be stupid to drive the escy when It would cost me a shit load more in fuel!
I love driving her on the road even in its race state (less the slicks of course) The lumpyness of the cam and the flat spot from the 48's isnt great but to be honest if I wanted something that was smooth as silk, I would have bought a new car!!!
Each to their own I say!!!
