Pull a plane out of the bog and then I'll be impressed!!

We used to pull 1.5 tonne of fertilizer in a car trailer with the carvan version of this. 1.0L

I'd want to see it lifting off to be impressed

To be fair wouldn't take a whole lot of power to pull an aircraft...

Try doing it in a 1988 Jetta on a towbar........I loved that Jetta

TBH you'd be surprised how puny of a car could pull a plane. Used to pull a 737 with tug that had an archaic streight 6 Ford petrol engine. I'd be surprised if it had more that 160BHP, and no it wasnt torquey either! Towing a plane is fairly easy, stopping it is the hard part. Makes for good marketing for the uninitiated though.
