Subject:towing a westy

On one of my moves from Florida to New England.. I towed my 85  standard
trans westy with a front wheel towing dolly and a 4x4 pickup... it did not
hurt the westy or the 4x4 but it was about as much fun a dropping down an
elevator shaft.... Stopping the parade is a hart stopper.. wet roads are not
good for the pacemaker either nor are steel bridges... if was the longest
1800 miles I have ever driven..

For my  money long tows deserve flatbeds and braking systems to match the
load.. I am a genetic cheap skate and that has gotten me in trouble from
time to time...
