Well, next week I'll be towing my Caravelle 228 miles home on twist roads with numerous steep hills. I'll be using an adjustable (V-shaped) A-frame attached by 2 long through-bolts through the T3's front bumper mounting bulge. Towing car will be an 89 diesel 1.8 Corolla. I don't anticipate any problems. -- Andrew Grebneff 165 Evans St, Dunedin 9001, New Zealand <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut Friends don't let friends do Windows
