I'm shocked. I thought the two vehicles should be connected by a rigid connecting rod.

What needs towing anyway? Does your breakdown service not cover it?

A tow bar is only £30, not much more than a rope

Isn't a mile from home that it doesn't cover? Get a couple of mates to push it- job done. |

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit...

Oh I forgot to say, I'm pretty sure there are rules on how heavy you can tow with depending on when you got your license.
Also, if the other car isn't taxed/MOTd then it may be a problem.

No, you shouldn't be the one towing it.

And this is the well.
Drink full and descend.
