My big family car
Last week I bought a used Volkswagen Touareg in Norfolk, it was on sale for a very reasonable price and so I didn’t mind travel very far to buy it. I have been looking for the mid-size crossover SUV for a very long time but never found the right one at a decent price.
I got interested in the Volkswagen Touareg since 2006, when I found out a Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI managed to successfully tow a Boeing 747-200 that weighed around 155 tonnes. The car completed seven complete runs on the auxiliary runway at Dunsfold Aerodrome, 40 miles south west of London.
It was funny when the driver of the Volkswagen towing the Boeing 747-200 commented after he had successfully completed the task. The driver, Uwe Krieghoff, said: ”I was a bit disappointed we couldn’t find something heavier to tow as it was a bit too easy! If anyone could lend us a heavier aircraft then please let us know.”
That’s when decided I want the Volkswagen Touareg as my family car, it’s big, bold and strong. I never did buy the car after I had my children, as I didn’t feel confident driving a big car, and so I stuck to my little car.
When I finally felt I was ready to buy the car, my children were all grown up and had their own cars but that didn’t stop me. I still went ahead and bought myself the new Volkswagen in Norfolk, just to fulfil my dream of having a big car.
