Looks like my Monaro needs a tow home, what's the best way to do this? Flat bed?

Thanks. Long story. Will explain later.

Best, safest, most legal way will always be a flat bed.

Does it need to be on a flat bed to be towed ? nope.

Yeah flat bed all the way if possible.

Mine was once recovered to the Fish by the AA on a 2 wheel lift (lifted on the rear wheels obviously) as I didn't want to wait around for ages for a flat bed to arrive. The patrol man was quite happy as that took care of his entire shift

Plus he gave me a call to say he got there safe and sound so wasn't all that bad.

Oh No! Nothing serious I hope?

It was a sod getting my (at the time) stock-height CV8 on a low-loader (articulating bed jobbie). Good luck!

Mine's been towed behind an AA van obviously backwards. The car was bigger than the van but it all worked out fine. He asked me how fast I would have gone if I had been racing it at Bruntingthorpe (they don't collect cars that blow up at competition events) I said "about 185mph when it let go".

Surprising how many accidents and mechanical failures happen just outside of events.

I remember Liam1986 being towed to Donnington Services on the M1, so that he could ring the recovery company (in his first BMW).

Thanks to Neil for sorting this out today and yesterday.

New radiator, spigot bearing, rear main oil seal, remote clutch bleeder, ripshifter think that's it. Car feels great now.

Just a shame about the air con condenser falling to bits now
