Any company with an articulated- platform flatbed should be able to do it , providing their best and most careful " low car " guy does the work.

A cheap and easy way to do it (although I don't know if you would wanna do it with your GT2) is call AAA.... my friend got stuck on the side of the road in her 325is that is about 3in off the road (she's on H&R sport springs, and billstien m3 cup sport suspension.... quite low) and she just called at told them her circumstances and that it could not be scrapped and they sent an articulated flat bed and their best "low car" guy... did a fine job. He ended up with a $20 tip for not doing any damage....
Just a thought...
Cheers,
Jonas

It's actually best to use the tow hook ( vs driving ) and to reel it on slowly with the winch as you watch the angles .

Given what it takes to get my car in the driveway (2 inch drop since they haven't paved the final course yet thus requiring long boards) and onto my lift (8' long boards to avoid scraping), I would say I am up sh_t's creek without a paddle if I am ever stranded on the road!!!

you'll be fine, just make sure to get a flat bed, i've put many cars as low as yours if not lower on flat beds before

Watt...
if you're still looking for someone...call Ralphie at Norwalk Tow & Transport (562) 923-5699 or 1-800-595-4TOW. He helped me to move a few cars and can do really low cars. They do most of the towing for Ferrari of Orange County and Brabus.

Minis-are-slow, FYI, Watt's car is being prepped for the Open State Elko Nevada High Speed Run. Why don't you sign up and drive your car out there? Watt's car had his suspension tuned by Andial for the high speed run. I'm sure they have a VW division. You can meet him out there and tell him yourself.

BTW, thats awesome... what is this high speed run thing all about... i mean i get the basic drift of it, but what are the details? (not that i am even thinking of running my slow *** car out there... I would be laughed at... LOL)
