    HELP!! Need to shift a non-running car.

    So this is probably the cheekiest thing I've ever done, but I'm on the beg for some help.

    I've taken Moby up on his offer of his motor after going to look at it last night, but in its current state, its not going anywhere under its own power.

    Does anyone have a trailer and suitably beefy car to tow the trailer with my car on it?

    I'll quite happily shout anyone a few beers and petrol money for their trouble, or whatever they like (provided its nothing physical, tough luck, Trig ).

    Any offers???

    Don't suppose the friendly vauxhall garage has a recovery truck?
    Checked with a mate who works for Merc Main Dealer - they don't as they reckon it's cheaper to subcontract recovery work out
