[TR] towing

[John A. Wise]

In 1972 I towed my 58 MGA from Webb AFB in West Texas to Pittsburgh,  
PA to attend grad school.  I had a hitch made that bolted on the  
bumper bolts and used the same hitch to tow it from Pittsburgh to St  
Louis for my first civilian job4 years later.  I used the car daily  
for 6 more years  I had no problems from either tow & only sold the  
car when I bought a 240Z.
