I notice this thread is severely lacking in poo count.

Well, there was definitely two when I found out that the front tyres on the Ami were at 15psi and 58psi.

"Oh shit that's a bit soft, and the tyre is a bit warm."

"Oh shit that's about to explode!"

Other than very nearly running out of fuel on the last stint (and being very glad I was carrying an additional 50L of veg) it was a fairly uneventful tow.  But possibly the longest A-frame I've done in one go.  340 miles in about 8hrs.  60mph limit (rigidly adhered to) and three stops.

Also got a very odd look from an AA van bloke at one of the stops who was using a front-axle-lift tow on a car.  It was a "how in the whart now?" sort of look.

@Talbotis a hero and has earned his munchy box.

I imagine upon seeing that contraption go past, some other punter probably started wondering if the mushrooms they ordered with their own munchy box might of been magic...

Longest A frame job I did was from Egremont to Brierley hill in a series 3 2 1/4 diesel , SWB land rover with a 1989 landrover 90 on the back...196 miles at 40mph  ears were ringing for 3 days!!

Was pretty normal mpg tbh.  Speed restricted to 60mph and the ami being small (minimal wind resistance) and light (700kg maybe?) Meant I was getting an easy 35mpg.

You are responsible and I am thankful. It is a beautiful car. Lots of spares. Also Laurence kindly gifted me a rear windscreen and 1 racing wheel nut.
