Bad Bad VW towing advert

Post by Heath »

Just seen the new advert for VW's and it showed them towing stuff with various models and bugger me, they also show the ute with a strop over the towball towing a tractor.

Shame on you VW, you should know better!!!

Yeah I realise the shock loading probably does the most damage (like a bouncy track maybe) but if you saw the advert and didnt know...
