Video: How Not To Tow Away A Car

Hell hath no fury like a miffed Chinese lady...

---

There's nothing worse than the feeling of sheer helplessness when you return to your car to find it ticketed, or - even worse - clamped.

So we rather imagine it's a pretty unpleasant experience to have your car towed away right before your eyes.

It's certainly something this Chinese woman was not prepared to put up with. She simply gets into her Chevrolet Captiva and drives off with the tow-truck still attached and the tow-er becoming the tow-ee. Genius.

We salute your - er - balls (for want of a better word), lady of Shanghai, even if we very much doubt you made a clean getaway.

Of course, there's also a cautionary tale here for any parking enforcement agencies - make sure your drivers don't leave their tow-trucks in neutral...

 

Ps - we know it's not the newest video, but it is funny...(we think)

Looks like an advert to me, the reactions of the tow truck driver just don't seem right.

Plus the fact that the tow truck must have been in neutral and handbrake off without the driver in it!

And someone just happened to be right there filming it quite smoothly (not on a shaky mobile phone).

Sorry, but for those of us who frequent sites such as youtube... this is such old news.

PistonHeads HQ has only just ditched dial-up....it's brand new to us.

Riggers, put another LP on the record-deck and make us all another cup of Mellow Birds.

And shouldn't it be in the youtube thread



If it is real the centre diff should go pop fairly quickly.

I saw a good youtube video the other day with this kid pretending to wield a light saber, big fat kid he was, zoom... zoom.

I LOL'd, which means lots of laughs.

I didn't see it until Riggers posted it, but my first thought was that the transmission would go pop....then I went back to doing some work (honest)

Get a grip you sad losers. Who cares if it is old. We posted this for the wider PH audience who don't sit in their bedrooms every night trawling Youtube and such like. We do not even care that it is fake. It is just a wee clip to brighten your day.

Thank god for FWD
