    I figured if someone was going to tow they'd have the correct equipment.:wink: The dolly may have lights on it. When I towed my race car the dolly had lights.

    Car doesn't drive... yet. Hence the need to tow. I'm using a trailer with lights - I used a $40 repeater-style controller with independent power so I don't fry the car's computer only took like 15 minutes to install. :Thumbsup:

    I can officially verify that the MiniFini draw bar and a front-wheel dolly is *very* do-able with a Mk.1 Cooper S....

    I don't know if I'd say "I didn't notice it back there", but it was zero perspiration getting the car through multiple, rough construction zones on I70 from Dayton to Columbus - I actually had to be careful not to speed, and had no issues passing slow trucks and other traffic.

    Fiona is home, ready to finish the last re-assembly steps once parts arrive:

    Been a long haul, but it looks like you're in the home stretch!:Thumbsup:
