<VV> Flat Towing

[AeroNed at aol.com]

The tow bar that I use belongs to the club, I'm just "storing" it. You bet, 
 removing the bumper is a pain in the "bumper." I have to take care to not 
damage  the paint or the bumper. I'm planning to come up with a special base 
bar that  will go under the bumper and stay on the car, even when not using 
the tow bar,  another winter project.

Ned,  that would be great.

I don't want to have to remove the bumper more  than once.  :)  I'd like
to be able to tow the convertible to  shows, that's why I'm thinking
about base plates and regular tow  bars.
