the howes cachewagon ( 2012-2019 )

TB that was fixed onto the 1.6 Cmax from January 2012 to April 2019

Temporary back in action for 1 week - August 2020 as its magnetic and can stick to the Campervan we had hired for the Sussex Mega. now going round the SW of england

Magnetic Trackable located normally on the back of my car... it has however been attached to other vehicles in its time and travelled via other means as well

Purchased just as the first cache wagon was obtained - previously I had a company car handed back as I changed jobs.
