On a serious note though need to know these things, I joined the AA joint membership purely for when the gf is drivinvg her car on her own.
Myself and a mate, who we shall call ROOSIE, were towing his car 15 miles or so, we had a rigid tow pole to tow his 3 door track car, I was driving his 330D, he used the most shitty worn away exhaust clamp to secure the bar around the x member of the cos, going along merrily whne this t**t in a beemer pulled out right in front of us from a drive, so roosie dabbed the brakes, SNAP went the rotten exhaust clamp, had been worn to about 2-3mm thick from grounding on the car it had been fitted to.
No mot/tax on cos, we coasted to a halt when a cop car came past us 2 times, shitting me knickers we proceeded to have a brain wave, took both of us to come up with this one ha ha.
We put the tow eye in the front of the beemer and proceeded to PUSH the 3 door the remaining 12 miles or so, it was raining the cos igntion couldn't be turned on as the fuel pump rail was loose, so no wipers on the cos, had me lad leaning out of window telling me if there was anything there on the nearside like cyclist etc.
Go right through high street past cop shop, then when we get to the yard he(roosie) jumps on the brakes, so I shit myself as the tow pole snapped the tow hook in the beemer bumper and nearly went through the grille and rad!!
