I guess I am spoiled here in texas, everyone I know has a truck and trailer. That said, I would still go back with the tow dolly or a trailer and get the car myself. Go to home depot and buy at least one of the rachet tow straps and then get a heavy duty come-along (hand wench)... using these two I was able to wench a 79 bronco onto a trailer by myself and the truck had no tranny and three of the tires were not only flat but off the rim...so pulling a 914 roller up onto a dolly or trailer will be a piece of cake.
Good luck, and welcome to the world of car salvage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Tony |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) SUCCESS!
Well, mostly success. I managed to get the roller towed from Escondido to Carlsbad tonight. For those of you not famliar, Escondido is inland from Carlsbad about 20 miles in northern San Diego County. So I did what I should have done in the beginning which was to call AAA. It makes for an interesting contrast. Tonight's adventure took all of 30 minutes versus 3 hours. The flatbed shows up, the pickup the car, and the driver has no problem with it. He even mentioned that he resoterd "a couple of these" himself!!! So the car is now sitting in Carlsbad at my aunt's house awaiting a tow to Redondo Beach. I'm going to figure out some way to get it up here, but the big hurdle is over! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Oh, no pictures yet btw.
