Towed an 'old friend' back to the island with the Rangie. Beautiful tow car and 72p for LPG on the mainland!

I was thinking that it was a bit vertically wasteful. I spent saturday night a few weeks ago assisting in lifting a Lotus Elite onto a scaffold frame using four ratchet straps, so we could stick an Excel underneath it. There are probably neater solutions, it took about 5 hours :mr green:
