i saw a prat earlier trying to tow mis mates fiesta with his chav bodykitted E36 (poverty model). wouldn't have been so bad if he could reach his towing eye but the bodykit covered it... the obvious solution was to attach the towrope to the middle of his rear spoiler!!!! needess to say it ripped off the boot causing mucho damage!!!!
i nearly wet myself!!!!

so gave it another go and then ripped the whole boot off the car not the bumper . but the bumper the lights the spoiler and the boot floor lol

I once watched someone try to tow a motorbike with a car, the rider tied the rope around his waist. You can guess what happened when the car pulled away and I fell out of the bus cab laughing and dislocated my shoulder!

Talking of towing, A friend of mine bought a calibra V6, and on the way home the engine seized, His mate who took him up there ended up towing the calibra back 60 miles, In a 1.1 Rover kensington 5 door metro! :O
