Things you don't see anymore...

[gremlin]

A random thought entered my head as I was riding home the other day: you never see cars on tow anymore. I'm not talking recovery lorries with spectacle lifts and all that professional nonsense, I'm talking about a bloke in car towing his mate with a dodgy looking rope and hand-made 'ON TOW' sign in the back window.

That, and Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. And Falmer come to that. Or Lee Cooper.

But mostly cars on tow.

Towing a car here is illegal. Have to use a grua (pickup/recovery truck)

But it's free with your insurance.

Last time I saw a car being towed with a rope, it was my car.

My old Volvo did (what turned out to be) a final (for me anyway) non-start. So I called the local independent car servicing place that had maintained it for a few years.

I expected them to turn up with a dedicated recovery vehicle as they're a fairly substantial outfit. Nope. 2 blokes turned up in car with a rope - and no 'On Tow' sign - and off they went. No power steering, no power assistance on the brakes, no bother. The place is only about a mile away but the driver must have got a good workout.

White dog shit.

If the dog is fed on a 'raw' food diet, you might.

It's made of ground up meat, gristle, and bone.

The bone isn't digested.

I have a 10 tonne tow rope in my van. Comes in handy when you get stuck in the mud. The first two times i got stuck a Dacia Duster came to the rescue. Oh the shame

Funnily enough, I saw a car being towed on the M62 last night and thought ‘you don’t see that very often now’.

Albino dogs were phased out.

And dogs don’t get fed bones very much now.

An old friend used to have a trojan bubble car, he broke down on a regular basis, his father towed him home using a big yank caddy at over 70mph he was terrified as the trojan wouldnt do much over thirty. it ended up on its side in a ditch having not made a corner

Cars towed?
I've been towed and have towed on motorbikes, vans and I've even pushed a mates van the last 100 yards with my van (bumper to bumper) when he ran out of diesel at traffic lights just before a filling station.
It's a fucking free for all round here.

In Texas, down by the border, you'll see one truck with another 3 or 4 vehicles in tow using solid bars between them. They're headed to Mexico. All the vehicles, including the tow pig, will be beat to shit.
