(as you do!) and is 100 miles from me. Did consider joining then calling them out, but as the car is not taxed or mot'ed etc, I thought they would probably smell a rat. £50 all you need is a car with a towbar fitted. 
..£6.49 a month through the rac which includes taking the car home to any destination in the uk if it breaks down...push the car into the street and hope they dont get it started...the AA are doing the same for £9.99 a month with a 24 hour activation period.£500 in the last 4 years and had about £70 use out of them so dont feel guilty, feel even

Plus if he gets caught by the coppers with a car on the road that has no tax/mot or insurance he will be shafted like there is no tomoz.
..the AA dont check to see if your car is mot`d and ive never seen them even checking the tax disc...its not there concern, they are getting paid to get the car going or transfer it to the destination.....clutch gone would be a good one etc...

A car that has no tax CANNOT be on the road broken or not.
They plod are quite within there rights to scrap the car for even being parked on the road.
Cant say I know what the AA will say about it, never had a car recovered.
..only because ive always got tax so dont really think about it....youve got to admit that it would be very bad luck if he got busted for that ....still possible though....can the car not break down in a driveway... 
..anyone 
...already there...the trailer 
and not a lot the old bill could do. Not saying its a good idea, but.... Oh yeah and how to fleece the AA (not that I care about the AA).(I cant find a smiley to represent sarcasm i mean theres ome for a cyclops but no sarcasm wtf) a people person was a waste lol.......ts a fair comment to be honest not very helpful some of the comments 
i considered this to look sarcastic"economical with the truth" about hire rates. They'll advertise car trailers "from £49 a day" but, upon closer inspection, the one you get for £49 is just about big enough for a quad-bike and a double-axle braked trailer might be double the cost.(who owns a tow-truck, obviously) and offer him £100 to pick the car up in the evening for you. Tell him you'll be taking the car to him for work at some point too. Farmers ALWAYS have trailers or know somebody who has. You might be able to borrow one for the price of a crate of beer or a bottle of scotch. A mate of mine once bought a kit-car and hired a trailer to go to the factory to pick it up. At the last minute he decided to also hire a van to tow the trailer cos he was worried there'd be no room in the car for all the extra bits.£400! 
"Get the AA to recover it" thing... If they find that the car isn't registered to you they aren't going to tow it 100 miles for you.*do* attempt this, buy the car, get the logbook sent away and returned in your name BEFORE moving the car.'advice' guys!£240 is the best I can get a proper company to do it for.(is everyone else as tired of everybody trying to 'drift'???), but that might not be here for another week or so, and I need the car out of the guy's way by the end of the weekend really. Both ends have a good enough driveway to get a tow truck on, but does the car stipulate it must be on the road, or is a driveway pick up applicable too?£310 bullet. Id rather not, though!... Will try that one out! I do only have a Golf Cab at the moment though, so I wouldnt be convinced about it's towing abilities (or severe lack of them!).£150 all in? sound okSi_Crewe wrote:A trailer might seem cheap at first but the hire companies can be
Seriously, consider doing something like talking to a local mechanic
Alternatively, if you know anybody who works on a farm, ask them to ask around for you.
If you have to hire a trailer make sure you've also got access to a suitable vehicle.
Even though the trailer was a reasonable price, by the time he'd hired the van as well and put petrol in it, the day ended up costing him over
£50 for a WEEKEND hire. £30+vat per day for a twin axle car trailer, They've never tried to charge more, and that is the going rate around here. It easily carries an mr2, i used it to tow my brothers car to avon park last year. I have got a galaxy tdi so don't need to worry about finding a suitable tow car for it.
