My good deed

[Tim]

Currently stuck on the m25 and saw a lady and her kids stuck as there car had broken down in the middle of all the traffic.

We are currently towing her, slowly, around the m25 to get her to the services.

The best bit, we have no tow rope so a bit of 10mm has done the job

 

[Tim]

And just so you know, the golf hit us a second time!!!!!

If Tim doesn't reply soon, then we can all safely assume that he's recieving a fine from the cops lol.

Good deed though, wonder what the strain on 10mm actually is lol ....suppose we'll soon find out if Tim tells us it snapped and the lady entered his backend. :38:

Or the other way round and Tim's in the cells :blush2:

Arrrggggh............just seen the photos and the news.
Bad time for joking with lives lost............sorry all.

Did the 10mm end up as 2.5mm after all that stress and strain on it???

To avoid the towee running into the back of you, it's law to have a fixed tow-bar nowadays. I guess after 2 shunts, you've figured that out tho.

The 10mm held up quite well, i was surprised, it might even still be useable lol

Yeah i know, as well as neither of us have the addition on our licence to tow anything above 750kg as we dont get grandad rights, too young

just seen the link - that doesn't look good at all.

tim only started with 5m of 10mm cable, now he has a 100m reel

So how come you can still buy tow ropes from garages, Halfrauds etc.?

 

[KAS1]

So one of those things the towbar manufacturers tell us then...
It does state that it is potentially dangerous however
