    According to the owners manual in my quattro.

	Don't tow with all four wheels on the ground

	If towing with two wheels on the ground, the other two must be
	free to turn

	If towing with two wheels on the ground, don't exceed 25 mph

	Preferred way is to two with all four wheels off the ground

    When I had to get mine towed from Los Alamos to the dealer in
    Albuquerque, I read the owners manual and pissed the tow truck
    driver off to no end when I insisted that he make a choice between
    25 miles an hour with two wheels off the ground, or get one set of
    wheels on dollies and the other set on the towing rig.  Took him
    nearly a half hour just to get the wheels on the towing dollies.

    Peace
