Use our 52 MM cheeser every day. Not the best towing-car ever, but it gets me there

Towing with a sidevalve is good because you now have an excuse for going so slow!.

Not the easiest job I must admit, but very rewarding.

rob...you are positively insane! towing that poor moggy with that plane! ;-)

Plane has 3 times the power output and weighs about 1/3 of the Mog. Twice as fast, too!
(and cheaper to run, and quieter, and more fun,and....)
Cardiff to Bornemouth in about 40 minutes. Try that in a Minor ( or even a Ferrari)
Of course, you MUST remember to remove the Mog before getting airborne
