I've got a scary flat towing story.

I was steering a Sunny wagon, that a "mate" was towing in his Range Rover. Engine and box out, but tailshaft still connected and held up by a piece of rope.

Bout midnight and raining

As he enters a wide sweeping corner at around 50kph....he decided to put the boot in. The car is sliding like a water skier and the tailshaft is slapping on the ground.

He figures he should try to get it to keep sliding and continues to speed up. I slam on the brakes and the car keeps going.

He then thought it would be fun to slam his brakes on and I end up on the end of his towbar.....real fun! Last time I get a flat tow me thinks.
