i towed my mate in my tigra last weekend about 30 miles from gillingham to my house, used a towing bar with a spring in the middle to take out the shock. he couldnt see a thing as i was in my van and wasnt too happy when he saw i was doing 70 on the M2. got back in one piece though.

funny towing story; was out in Bolton one weekend and saw three fit-ish girls crossing the road to go to another bar. they were there one second, we heard a few screams then they were gone. first thought they'd been ran over but they actually crossed the road between 2 cars that were stopped and one was towing the other. they got trip wired good and propper. we thought it was hilarious!

The problem with towing is anybody can legally do it, so you would come across "inexperienced drivers" just presuming that the brake servo would work and the power steering, you can imagine the amount of shunts
