It's a pretty small wimpy car (as you'd expect in Britain), but it gets the job done, even if the early part in particular looks a bit relaxed. Mike |

Sort of fizzled the enthusiasm of seeing it actually pull the glider. Just one long shot of both the car pulling and the glider rolling would have done it but I didn't even get that much ![]() |

Perhaps in a better resolution video it would clearly be the car, but the shot is VERY short. |
