RX8 & Tow Bar
Probably two words that don't belong in the same sentence, but has anyone successfully fitted a tow bar to their RX8, and if so, where do I get one from?
I recently bought myself a new jet ski and I'm getting sick of borrowing other people's cars to tow it all the time...

To everyone who is considering a Tow bar
The RX8 cannot be expected to be everything to everyone IT already doubles up as 4 seat passenger sports car , so the expectations of using it for towing catamarans or jet skies as well being a daily driver in heavy city traffic and not using too much petrol i feel is unrealistic .
I primarily bought this car as a weekend / fun everiday vehicle to enjoy , but would not have chosen it if i had to use it for work and have to drive in heavy city traffic on a daily basis or wanted to Tow boats / jet skies etc etc .
Also i would not buy this type of car if i did not have a lock up garage or if i lived in a block of flats with an open carport :p

Looking in the owners manual it does list towing capacity 1000kg :D
Catamarans weigh 50-100kg so quite realistic to expect even an rx8 to tow.
Just not too keen on the sex aid pictures in previous posts

Guys how often do you see a porsche boxster or a 911 towing anything ??? or anyother type of performance sports car towing its not its
irrespective of the fact that it has a 1000kg towing capacity indicated for the car and whatever you would like to tow is far less . :p
