Yes, Kelvin, you're right about the tongue weight. What you do have to worry
about is the interesting dynamics that occur when the car you're flat towing
is about the same weight as the car that's pulling it. I once towed a
Karmann Ghia with a Karmann Ghia - got rather twitchy at anything over 30mph
and was downright scary to stop. Never again.
