I had to have Hank towed backwards by the two ball once right across a field which was basically a bog one Christmas. People were telling me on FUCTS it would knacker the chassis and I stressed for days about it but it was fine. Thats when I got the feck off great towing eye welded on the front which works as when the suspected wheel bearing went in France the breakdown guy dragged it up by it at an impossible angle with feck all to stop it rolling away across the Pyrenees if it gave way. Thats what we love about you Bazza. our misdemeanours always seem minor in comparison ! we do have a fixed towing eye on the front..and a tow bar on the back. Both useless without a tow rope... we have just been to investigate the village. Cute little hotel/ pub/ resto. But some fecker gave all our local spondoolicks to the fella that pulled us out ! So its a 2km walk in the freezing wind into town. I can feel a shopping trip coming on 🙂

I bet that brought tears to your eyes - or are you just boasting!!!

Many people confuse a front "lashdown transport loop" as a towing eye (which it's not, being only to tie a vehicle down to a transporter, etc). Which is why I like that you've actually had a proper towing eye welded to a subframe at the front, Baz.
