TOTALLY forgot this car did this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just flicking through some pics and i forgot that Martins car held the WORLD record for the fastest caravan tow at one point.
Wasnt it 128mph??
I wonder if he will try and get it back with the Reyland Escort EVO2

the caravan got sold for a mint to never raced or rallied..lol
I'm sure martin said he would never try it again as it is just too dangerous as you are not allowed to use a stabiliser
have the vids of the first one from in the chase car very impressive

Martin did say he *might* be coaxed back for another go if someone beat the speed....... he also mentioned he might do it blinfolded 
Martin actually went one stage further and removed the standard caravan stabiliser (which should in theory be allowed) but didn't want to run the risk of losing the record on a technicality, or bitching.... made braking a tad lairy for Martin
Was a pleasure to actually be there and witness it all, it even had part of my vehicle on it when it did it
(my claim to fame )

Not sure on that, I know a Viper held the record prior to Martin....and we're talking Guinness World Records, so certain conditions are applied for a legitamate GWR.

My email handled it fine, just finished d/l it. 4MB is quite large, but it's really down to ISP etc. if other email systems can handle large files like that.
