We have towed our Midget several thousand (OK 2,000) miles using a tow
dolly. Unfortunately the rear is too narrow for the dollies I could rent.
I disconnected the drive shaft. I think if you want to use the B for a
daily driver your best bet would be a dolly that you could back the car
onto. Secure the steering wheel so the front (now rear) of the car won't
wander. Then drive off and away you go!! I have to agree with Ross on
not towing on the rear wheels with the drive line attached. Although some
on the list have had other experiences.
