Could 1 car push another car uphill bumper to bumper?

Alternatively, walk in when its open, ask them if you can have a couple of tyres and they'll gladly let you take them.

DING!

The message from Conor contains these words:

A friend of mine used tyres half buried on edge to form the sides of the play area under the climbing frame I built for her. Looked so like the Lock Ness monster that she eventually carved a head and added it.

Tyre shop were most surprised when a 6'2" attractive blonde came to fill up her Espace with old tyres.

Hehe, I did that once. For a while a Micra would be found parked outside our house when we got up in the morning, and gone when we got home in the afternoon. Nobody near knew anything about it.

One day my neighbour needed a skip dropping on his garden, and said car was in the way. I had a HJ60 LandCruiser at the time, so I hooked it up and towed it 50 yards up the slope against the handbrake.

Never saw it again...

I have a pretty heavy (40mm square section) solid bar I use for towing, towbar to towing eye. A similar bar could be used to push, twoing eye to towing eye.

I am truly in awe of your superlative scrap tyre procurement expertise. So you've got the tyres then, and you've only taken 120 times the length of time it would have taken me to do the whole job. Oh and you haven't taken the tyres back yet - or moved the car, for which you'll be needing an extra driver, by the way.

And in the act of walking from their door to the counter, you've taken as long as it would have taken to move the car using the starter.

Cheers,

Colin.

Not a modern car I would think.

Why would I need an extra driver to move a car 10ft?

BUT

a) I wouldn't have shagged the starter. b) I wouldn't have melted a set of jump leads.

There's no room for a car to tow it remember. That presumably means it has to be pushed round a corner. What are you going to do? set up the steering and hope it doesn't self-center too much?

It'll wear the starter by maybe four or five starts-worth. You have a very odd definition of shagging.

Why would you want to melt your jump-leads? When I used this method to move a three-conrod Sierra up a one-in-three gradient, my jump-leads remained un-melted - mainly because they stayed coiled up in the cupboard under the stairs throughout the exercise.

If you want ( for the purpose of not looking thicker than you make others out to be) to assume the battery is flat, then you'll still find that a *properly-used* set of jump leads will work just fine.

Cheers,

Colin.

stick a tyre between the bumpers to minimise damage and to ensure your bumper paint (if app) doesn't rub off on to the victims car!

a caravan? was it a 2 dwarf berth then on 10" mini wheels hehe :-)
