I will most likely tow to the WCR. What are the opinions on flat towing vs using a trailer?

Sorry for the semi hi-jack, but what's the preferred method for flat towing? Meaning do you have to weld tabs to the car or is there another way to do it? |

See this link for a member vendor 914 specific tow bar: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=294018 I have decided to flat tow. My tow vehicle is a 2001 BMW X5 which has a 5000 lb rating. Thanks everyone for your input to my question! Darryl |

Flat towed mine quite a bit with Volvo 850 turbo.....longest was 750 miles...got 21mpg on some sections of I85/I95!
Don't forget a set of magnetic brake/signal lights. I put mine in the rear window at the corner of the targa with a bit of duct tape to keep them from walking around & scratching up the paint. |
