You wouldn’t be able to carry a wardrobe with it or pull a 28’ boat with it, but anything capable of those feats would not qualify on the sports badge either. But as I said it would be dependent upon the interpretation of Utility
That’s what the 928 is for.

I’ve seen an E34 535i touring pull a ridiculously large and rotten old wooden keelboat hull a fair ways in a pinch but those things are pretty incredible old tanks

They wouldn’t let you pull that thing with a 928 here in Oz. I doubt they’d let you pull anymore than about 1.5 ton more like 1.2.
They only let me pull 1.6 with my 83 Jaguar XJ6, before there were any such restrictions I’d regularly drag around 2 to 3 tons behind my old XJ12. my Old Ford Falcon Ute is Good for 2.4

As 911s are wont to be, it is surprisingly useful for quite a few things 😜
Fits ice hockey bag and sticks pretty well…

XJ12? I have five 5 glider launches dragged into the air behind an XJ12. All of 600ft above the airfield on a good day. Not that great, in fact rather difficult to find any lift and climb away from. But, hey, we got to 13000ft from one of those launches & still climbing at 500ft/m when we had to knock it off 😀/🙁 I was supposed to get qualified on driving it, but rain - 4 days solid of it - stopped play.

Had to travel into central London yesterday and ended up behind a very good looking dark green McLaren Elva. I did have to smile when it started to rain though 😁

Also passed a Rolls Royce Cullinan. That has not got any better looking with age.

Any Bugeye Sprite fans in the house? I saw a really cool one at this morning’s Audrain Museum Cars and Coffee.
