Nice one Graeme. Might explain why we see so many of these things dawdling along the highways at 75kmh with a conger line of traffic behind them. Might save on diesel though? Cheers

The opposite of an old joke:
In the back waters of England. A Mini had broken down.
A Rolly Royce pulled up and said I'll give you a tow into town.
Soon on their way an Aston Martin raced paced.
The Rolls Royce owner couldn't believe it and floored it.
As they raced through the next village a policeman spotted them and radioed the next policeman.
There is an Aston Martin doing 150mph, a Rolls Royce just behind and a Mini tooting it's hoon trying to overtake!

Just pictured that in my mind. Hilarious! Reminds me of a fatigued West Australia Triple Road Train driver in the early 80s who forgot that he was towing a broken down car when he turned off a single lane bitumen road on to a dirt road. Was not a pretty sight when he arrived at his destination to find a destroyed car with a couple of hysterical ladies on board. Cheers

Reminds me of the movie Charlie and Boots with Paul Hogan and Shane Jacobson. While taking a short cut in Queensland their car breaks down. A couple of locals come along and take them on tow, then once they reach a main road the two locals open their car up. While racing along well above the speed limit a motor cycle cop pulls alongside and tells Shane to pull over, not taking any notice that they were on tow!
If you have seen the movie then you will have noticed that earlier they were caught out by South Australia's fruit flie border control and had to sit down and eat quite a few punnets of strawberries they had bought earlier!
