Vehicle trailer / tow rope tonight?

[Ed Poore]

Basically I got back home about 20 minutes ago and a mate has booked his car that's been refusing to start into a garage in Haslemere tomorrow morning and not really thought it through earlier about how he's going to get it there.

So on the off chance - does anyone know of anyone who might have a suitable trailer or fixed tow-bar that could be borrowed at this extremely short notice in exchange for a crate of beer or more? I am suggesting he reverts to just phone the RAC or someone like that but given it's a BMW 3-series we all know how stubborn those drivers can be!

[edit]Subject should have been tow-bar - I have plenty of tow ropes that are strong enough![/edit]

Many thanks

Never mind - sorted, after towing it in 3rd gear for ~10 miles (why it was in gear is beyond me) it turned out to be running when we pulled over for a "see how you're doing" so it was driven the rest of the way and left at the garage.

Stupid timings and the like but all sorted now.

Could have helped if I had seen the post, your only 10 mins away.

Thanks for replying anyway, useful to know for the future but hopefully won't be required anytime soon! What was a nice relaxing day initially turned out to be exhausting at the end of it - trying to keep gear changes smooth when brakes are being applied and the car was in gear took a surprising amount of concentration. Particularly as I didn't want the hassle of making it 2 cars that have written themselves on the back of my 110...
