sashjag Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Are you allowed to take a banger to a meeting on a tow truck like this one? Cheerz 332-Sashjag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikard Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 I wound't have though so, it would be dangerous to bring it back if it was wrecked, cause the wheels may not be free to move round, or the body may drag on the road and damage the surface, also if the wheels are bent and buckled it may not tow in a striaght line, plus the wheels could fall off and wouldn't be that stable, If the police saw they may hjave a word to, im sure you could attach a trailor to that truck though Rikard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruiz 136 Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 I agree with Rikard it would be very dangerous as random parts could easily fall off into the path of unfotunate following cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrew Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Someone used to tow their banger to Newton Abbot years ago, with a tow truck. It was great for a few meetings, until one night he got fenced heavily, and the car got completely wrecked. As the car ended up with no wheels touching the floor, he couldnt tow it home.

mcrew Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 So what did he do with the car ? cheerz 332-sashjag He followed my then boss, back to his garage, then he unloaded the bosses car off the transporter, raced back to the track with the transporter and got someone to hiab the car on for him. He had a late night that night, as he had to unload the truck as we used it for 24hr recovery and we needed it back, just incase. Strange, that for the next meeting he aquired a trailer.

Crazy Craig Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 I remember at a Hednesford domestic, there was a recovery wagon (e.g. tilt and slide) with the towing prong things on the back, like the tranny in the picture. One car was safely on the beavertail bit and the other was being towed with its back wheels along the floor. Not sure if it was legal and he probably only lived a few mins down the road.
