Just went to the British show in Charleston, SC and talked to a lady who owns a TD. I thought that it was just restored for the first time. Found out that I was wrong! It was just restored for the second time in a couple of years. Seems they liked to "Flat Tow" their TD, thinking they'd save on buying a trailer. Well, the tow bar broke while on the road and it took a whole year and a lot of money to put the car back together again. Fortunately they were able to repair it. A very sad affair. A lot of pain and heartbreak. The car does look beautiful again. All of this would never have happened if the car was trailered. Plus, in my opinion, (for whatever it's worth), flat towing a car that old, is a tremendous strain on the old drive train. How about the back bearing in the transmission? If it's to far to drive it, for safety sake, put it on or in a trailer. JMHO. PJ
