Title: Miggy to the rescue
Post by: Big Fra on 14 March 2008, 19:52:17
Was out and about with one of my friends in his Laguna today.
When a few streets away from my house, his offside driveshaft decided to give up, losing all drive, on an A road with no parking bays or laybys!

Since I only live a short distance, I ran the half mile or so back to the house, picked up the miggy, and raced back to the stranded frog.

I attached the towpole and pulled his car back to mine.

Unfortunately, I had to give him my car to use so he could make his job tonight.

No wonder miggy's make great tow cars, I didn't even feel any major struggle towing a Laguna.

Only trouble is, I know he likes my Miggy, will I get to see it again? :-?

They are not bad at being towed either ::)

Actually, Mrs TheBoy did comment after the 'oil slick' incident in the tractor, that when she towed me home (in the MV6) how she didn't notice the tractor behind.
