She had a habit of running over the rope, causing it to snap.

Women, can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em

I find if you accelerate through the "nagging speed" 'til you're on the ragged edge they go quiet again, then they can safely be transported in the same car, and you don't need to bother with towing at all. ;)

That's my theory, come on TB keep up.


...although to be fair, in his case the window between nagging speed and thick ear speed is a little smaller. ;D

Oh, I've yet to find out if mine has a thick ear speed. She has a "silence maintained for a week longer than intended" speed which you have to be careful of. ::)

I know it's fun to overtake Tunnie in his 4 pot, but best done when not on tow.  ;D

Oh, hang on, you said rear towing eye? :-\

I got told off in my 4 pot for towing his dead V6 too fast  :o  ;D

Mrs TB "Silent treatments" only last an hour or so, once the realisation creeps in I'm enjoying the peace, and am NOT going to ask "whats wrong"

I know the pole is probably "past its best" .. but hopefully no damage to the Bullet ??

Neither car escaped entirely unscathed, but both will live.
