On Monday I towed a MX5 about 3 miles to the A3 after the driver got stranded in the snow & ice. A nice surprise today when the MX5 driver knocked on the door and presented me with a nice bottle of red wine.  Loving the power of the TDV8!

VA, any advice on the best modes to have turned on/off when towing in snow?
I believe GGS starts you in third in an Auto, but if you're towing a euro-box shaped ground anchor, then won't this overheat the auto fluid?
Any advice gratefully received Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Transgenic tomato anyone?

I didn't tow anyone three miles, but did tow an unloaded sprinter van for about half a mile mostly up hill, had it in Low range GGS (automatically went to off road height ) and just pootled along at about 5-10 mph once we had some momentum.
Car didn't seem to care at all.....
I am so glad I got those MTR's in November Craig

I got sworn at by one of the people I pulled out of a ditch. He wasn't happy..............neither was the guy in the L200 waiting to get past, but other than leaning out of his window and shouting he wasn't exactly helping to clear the road 
Glad to hear not everyone is like that in Surrey end of an era ....... maybe a Defender when it appears.......

If someone swore at me for pulling them out of the ditch, I would push him back in again.

How decent! Do you think if you were in your wife's D3, you'd have been gifted a slab of beer? Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana
