Has anyone ever used a tow-dolly to tow a 914? I'm trying to determine if this is do-able in leu of renting a car trailer. I know the 914 is low, so I'm concerned that it clear the chassis behind the front wheels, though most tow dolly's are pretty low anyway. Don't want to rent one only to find out I can't tow it when I get there to pick it up. Anything else I need to concern myself with?
Thanks, Andy |

Andy After renting from Uhaul a number of times Jim Chambers and I bought a tow dolly. Uhaul sucks, they are expensive, they tell you that you can't tow a Porsche and that your car isn't the correct type, blah blah. If you can get beyond all that you will be okay. Try and get the newest tow dolly you can. If you have to rent. I Have towed front wards and backwards, just make sure everything is secured, top and lids and take a lug wrench to tighten the wheels and a spare tire would not be a bad idea.
A bungee cord keeps the steering wheel in place also you can just pull the key out of the ignition. CCLINSPEEDSTOWING |
