Descending into Albuquerque from the east, I saw a Lincoln Navigator in my
mirrors flashing his lights and backing off quickly. That was enough to get me
to ease up on the gas before I felt the tug on the rear end of the Cherokee I
was driving. When the left front tire of the MGB I was towing let loose
completely, things got real exciting for a while. I didn't leave Albuquerque
before replacing the MGB's four dry rotted tires with new ones.

tow-dolly empty. Whether it was the width of the wheelbase inrelation to
the
tongue length, the tongue weight, all of the above, I was not going to
hang
around and see. All I know is that at 50mph+, that trailer was all over
the
road horizontally and doing a great job of trying to dribble like a
basketball simultaneously. I got the heck out of there in a hurry! It was
probably fine with a load on it, but empty it was a menace to all and
sundry.
