Does Steve have a car?

Would anybody be willing to tow my EA from Dandenong to the Ford discovery centre in Geelong this Saturday? I will compensate for fuel + a slab of your choice, and provide the trailer, all i need is a tow. Unfortunately my daily has four flat tyres and my Mum's car has no tow bar, so I need help. Towing experience is pefered.
Help my car to attend a meet finally!!! Any volunteers??? (PS i'm not giving up on getting the car running, i simply need a back up plan ;))

If i could i would. But the EA is scraping everywhere now so a trailer with car on it would be insane. Sorry Mate. I wouldnt even accept fuel money as it would have been a privilege to tow your car. Once again Sorry, i hope it all works out for you.

I have 4 x EF Monty Rims with Tyres you can borrow...........
Also got a tow bar on my Monty but it has ultra lows in the rear so wont be too good towing a car on a trailer for all that distance...........

The ED needs a new harmonic balancer aswell, so if no offers pop up to tow it i might try and get her going and pinch some tryes of somebody. Also there's alot of little things that i'm trying to get finished on the EA to get her show worthy, so most of my time needs to be put towards that...

how do you manage to get four flat tires ? thats a fair effort.
I would have offered but I can't drive and I removed my towbar a few weeks ago.

If you came round about 12pm - 1pm, it will give us enough time to load it up and get there, the 2pm time isn't strict
