went over the Lydd last nite to get the latest Starion.
Got there, had to pi55 about getting the battery terminal OK.
Going down road (towed behind Nissan Terrano), connection on battery flikering...
Brakes solid as engine off...
Turn around.
As pull into road where i picked it up, starion brakes go and go into the tow bar 3 times... popped bumper, just hope i haven't done the cross member... Pls bust a relay..

nothing in my life is ever simple. and i was so looking forward to it...

Well, got a low loader sorted for tomorrow.
Lydd to Crawley - £110 which isn't that bad.
Thats a bit better.

I've had to drive cars that are being towed before - it's not nice after about 30 minutes! It gets quite nerve wracking :(

Im OK with towing cars - my mum wasn't too struck...
if only the hand brake had caught it before it got the towbar... ho hum, should be ok though, was very low speed...

i hate tow ropes!

Tow bars are best as you can't go into the car in front!

Still scary though as you are so close to the car in front.

Key is for the towed car to brake for the car in front.

Still horrible. Low loader is the best route! But costs cash!:p
