    Even some simple diagrams on poster-cards.
    Wasnt an option, as court house was 500miles from home.

    yes, ^^^ this right here!!!

    and that's not a death wobble,

    that's called trailer swaying, and either you pick up speed or have electric trailer brakes and you know how to use the emergency bump button or lever,


    death wobble is front end oriented in jeeps or cars that have a screwed up bump steer,

I tried to tell him I was tryn to get the airstream to straighten out, but he obviously has no experience towing. Got a 2x ticket. So pissed.

    I've seen a Commodore down here (Pontiac G8 for the US guys) do exactly the same thing, and they're up around 1800kg - would have been heavier than the trailer and car on it combined.

    I think it's more down to the trailer - the theory that it's too high vs. the tow vehicle probably has merit.

    Not that wheel... you guys are upside down in NZ. Wheels go on the roof.

    I tow with my V12 swapped E34, have pulled another E34 a couple of times etc, tows very well plenty of torque.
    and if i need to trailer that car, like when i tracked it a few years back, used a Nissan GQ Patrol i had at the time, not sure if you have those in the US. we dont have any american vehicles here really.

    I'm no trailer expert but i feel like the issue is the trailer is to high. it looks huge. any trailer i used the bed was below the top of the wheels.
