Auto-Towing - why is this not more popular?
Am Mittwoch, 28. Oktober 2015 02:05:08 UTC+1 schrieb Sean Fidler:
86k is still a big check. Plus shipping, taxes, insurance and maintenance... Let me point out, again, the title of this thread. Winches are fine... Auto-towing is also a very under-utilized option. And everyone goes crazy and only wants to discuss winches, and gets irritated when I argue for aero-towing. RAS...it always delivers entertainment, guaranteed! ;-) It seems that you're the only one getting irritated... Why do you think in (at least) continental Europe everybody does winch launching instead of auto-towing? So, the answer to the question in the thread header is simple - because a winch is the better option for any club. Bert Ventus cM TW
