tricky. a lot of places don't do this now because of insurance reasons. just phone round. best bet is small independants where they use 2nd hand vans, if they came in with a tow bar it'll still be on. few if any actually fit tow bars now.

Don't you have a 7 series? Sticking a towbar on that will be cheaper than hiring something.

A wise choice sir :D:D
Plus with 2 french walled vehicles in the convoy the TA sweepstakes on which one blows up first will be in full swing.
I will be running on rather spiffing chip fat as well for added aroma :D
