40miles on a solid bar

[Hobbit]

Bought my old Astra van from somewhere in North Gloucestershire, it died after a few miles. So bought a fixed bar and towed it using Mrs Hobbits Astra and her sitting in the van all the way to Cornwall avoiding motorways. Was 170 odd miles iirc.

[Southie]

About 40 miles on a rope 15 years ago, my sr knackered a follower at York Dragstrip and it was the only way to get home :(

[tommy8252]

Towed my old cav from the wirral, Liverpool to cumbria (115ish) on an a frame on works l 200.

Had to stop on hard shoulder of m6 to reconnect a boost pipe that blew off lol

[grooge]

furthest is probably around 80 miles

two trips i can remember, one on a pole in the pitch black in a rolling shell, no brakes, lights etc even worse, no driveshafts/cv's to hold everything together!!

another from glencoe to glasgow after i blew an engine. i remember my heart rate going up a bit as my mate towing in his impreza pulled out for 5 lorry overtakes down the a82 doing 100+....on a rope....

the things you do when you are young and stupid lol ive also been towed home 15 miles in a write off with the front wheel stuffed away back into the wheel arch and unable to spin or steer, ruined the wheel, made a mess of the roads and burnt the life out my mates clutch!

wouldnt dream of repeating any of them now but i'd happily tow an a frame or on a pole for long distances 100+ miles

[Shamish82]

Ma old mother tow me by rope about 20 miles, I had no electrics, brakes and limited steering and by the the speed and the way she was driving forgot I was therelollol. stupid fiesta was so low the plug fell out the ecu. a ford party my backside

[Plug]

Dover to Dawlish on a Bar :)

[Mike]

About 5 miles on a rope with 2 bolts in EACH wheel when the police recovered one of my cars that was stolen in 2005 lol

Drove the van of death back from central London to my house in the midlands with no brakes at all, not even a handbrake, that was an interesting Sunday afternoon drive.
