This was a recent post on the Datsun roadster forum:

"Oddly enough my story is most resent. Since I'm not as old as some of you;-) Just kidding. I was at a very small town parade about 5 years ago and it had convertible cars with local famous folks riding on the trunk lids. An old MGB stop right where we were watching the parade and stopped running. A few moments went by when the driver of a Datsun Roadster further back in the parade pulled up and got a tow rope out of his trunk, hooked it up to the MG and pulled the car the rest of the parade. Too funny. I had to have one from then on." [color:"red"] [/color]

Now I am not implying Japanese cars are better than British cars, but everybody has an opinion. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I guess it could be argued the Datsun owner was carrying a towstrap for a particular reason! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
