[Fot] Flat towing a Vitesse

[Brad Kahler]

Over filling has been mentioned to me several times.

Based on the transmission issues while flat towing the odds are the
interested party will likely opt to not purchase a Vitesse as a Toad.
I think he's going to want to find something in the no muss no fuss
category.

Thanks for all the replies!
