I was helping my Father-In-Law with some clearing when I found an old copy of Motorcaravan & Motorhome Monthly (Feb '81). There was plenty of awaesome retro metal contained between the covers, but one thing stood above all the rest: I would love to have one, but the embarrassment of having to drive it along a motorway, the fear of sidewinds or the dubious handling characteristics that must be associated with attaching such a beast to your otherwise stock 'hatch back vehicle' would attract may stop me from actually using it. I can't think of a better car than a Ritmo/Strada to fit it too...aside from a SAAB perhaps, but they have their own version anyway.

That's pretty cool I think! I wonder how you go about hitching it up? It must weigh a fair bit.
I wonder if any have survived at all?

"The future unfolds behind you..." ;D I'm sure I missed a trick somewhere, but I still aspire to own something like this, I've perfected turning most any estate car into a perfectly acceptable camper... But the extra space would be very handy. And BC. Scorcher? Crikey that's a log book I'd love to have

Was Ridin' along side the highway, rollin' up the country side. Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave, what you burn in your crazy mind? Saw a slight distraction standin' by the road; She was smilin' there, yellow in her hair; Do you wanna, I was thinkin', would you care.
CHORUS: Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker, We could make music at the Greasy King. Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker, Won't you ride on my fast machine?
Cruisin' on thru the junction, I'm flyin' 'bout the speed of sound, Noticin' peculiar function, I ain't no roller coaster show me down. I turned away to see her, Woa! she caught my eye, But I was rollin' down, movin' too fast; Do you wanna, She was thinkin' can it last.
CHORUS
Was busted up along the highway, I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive. Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way, won't you give a poor boy a ride? Here she comes a ridin', Lord, She's flyin' high. But she was rollin' down, movin' too fast; Do you wanna, She was thinkin' can I last.
CHORUS CHORUS CHORUS
