<VV> Towing with Vairs

[Jason Cesana]

Anyone that was at the Cedar Rapids convention may remember Allen Bristow's
"unique" towing setup for the trip home to VA. I drove with Allen and I
don't mind telling you it was an interesting trip home. We had the Dodge
3500 with the bed camper, the flatbed with the Greenbrier strapped down
(Corvair content!), and the Corvair powered BOAT (more Corvair content)  he
had recently purchased attached to the flatbed via a homemade Bristow hitch!
We got A LOT of looks from various police and truckers. Surprisingly we had
absolutely no troubles at all from Iowa to Virginia. Of course the trailers
had electric brakes and we kept the speeds reasonable. That is one of the
tows I will NEVER forget! I attached a picture for those that don't believe
it!

No pictures but some years back when Curt Jones was  alive he bought a
stretch Corvair Van from Bob Bentz who at the time lived north  of
Jacksonville Fl. Curt asked me  to tow it home for him as I had a tow  bar
and a 3/4 ton long bed extended cab truck, the towing Holly Hill  Fl. went
fine until it started raining, it was a job getting it  stopped a lights.
The trip ended with no problems other than the rain.
