Patrick, I know I'm on the other side of the Pacific to you guys, but we tow cars in the forward direction here. I'm trying to picture a beige ERA 427 being towed down the street backwards
Am I missing something here?
Cheers,

I wouldn't tow a Cobra on anything but a flat bed. Getting the Cobra up on to the flat bed can be a little tricky because of the points that Kevin mentioned. Pulling it up on the flat bed from behind is often easier. But, you don't want the tow truck driver speeding too fast because the wind can cup behind the wind screen (which is facing in the opposite direction because the car is reversed).
