MiniDoMore hitch tows my plane

My clubman has turned out to be an excellent tow vehicle! The MiniDoMore hitch receiver was worth waiting for. Have now pulled my ultralight airplane (about 750 lbs with trailer) to Florida Fly-in and back (over 3,000 miles and barely felt it behind my Clubman S. Watch my latest activity at:

Ever go to the EAA airshow in Oshkosh? I just returned. You, your Clubman, and your ultra light would be perfect. It's a must visit!

Ultralight tow-car perfect for Ultralight float plane

Flew to Oshkosh many years ago (in my Lake Amphibian), but have been attending the Sun'nFun Fly-In in Lakeland, FL for the past 10 years. Drove this April '09 with my Air Creation Float Trike behind my 6-speed Clubman. Towed so smoothly from NH, hardly knew it was back there. 80 mph on cruise control south of DC. Hitch very slick, receiver opening is covered by license plate when hitch is removed, so totally invisible (and mounts with pin in 1 minute).
Attached photo is me leaving Florida for NH this spring with my Air Creation float trike behind my Clubman S.
