[Fot] Flat towing a Vitesse

[Don Marshall]

​I saw this rig a few months ago going through Jacksonville on I-95.  By
the time I caught up to take a picture he had taken the exit onto 95 south
toward Miami so you can't see the trailer.  If I was going to have a
"TRoad", I'd probably want it on a trailer, too.  Don
