Aha! I get you - I thought you were saying the towing point wasn't fine because there was a hole near it!

All makes sense now! Why someone would want to use a hole in the chassis rail to tow/pull something is way beyond me??

Thanks for clearing that up....

That's the one....

I certainly ain't no shiney....although I did wash the Mud Monkey on Sunday for the first time ever!! The new owner wanted it cleaned and I obliged (crying on the inside!!)

All that hard work no gone....

Have a look HERE for some rather upsetting shots of the (no longer) Mud Monkey after a dose with the hosepipe.....it broke my heart....but time to move onto the new one I guess

Bruce: I have to echo the comments on the other forum: I thought it was a dusty grey coloured van, not jade over silver!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Ahhhhh right, after a quick jaunt out to the parking lot to confirm, I remember that hoop IS there. Thanks Bruce.
