Lads - all this stunt was missing was banjo music and budlight ballcaps. Cripes, it ain't "manly" to place your egg-heads and other parts in danger of a serious and often deadly "tow line" mishap. Google up and live: "...if the towing vehicle weighs 3,000 lbs. and is moving at just 10 mph when the anchor breaks, a 3 lb. shackle will become a cruise missile flying at over 300 mph..."

Dear Mr. Geenyus,
Thanks for the advice. That's why we used tow straps without shackles or just rope. We left our banjo's at home and had to settle for Coors Light t-shirts.
