O.K. conceptually I can see you struggle like me.. It's all at the flat bit at the back not the pointy front bit. They've hung a load of rope off the head banger, it does wrap itself round the bit you wiggle to make it go in different directions, oh and if it's feeling really mean it wraps itself round both bits, the wiggle and the prod thing., and then, it likes to power itself right up, so you are nowhere near it, having chucked it all away to scramble up the side, then you sit up there looking at it. If you try to go near it, to attempt to untangle it, the whole thing tips itself on its side, this then propels you into some other sticky up bit designed to maximise pain and bleeding. Now it only does this when it knows you need to do something, like change direction, get out of the way of a wave, scratch your nose, adjust your neckerchief, bare your buttocks to some passing muppets, take a sip of coffee.. whatever, only when it's most inconvenient. I have a name for it, I call it being Nickpetered, he's getting me back for all those years ago when as a young man he foolishly tried to race against me windsurfing.

Struggling to visualise it but, working the basis that I must be right and it is just your ability to speak english that is limiting communication try this fix...
Take the tiller extension off the top of the tiller as well as the whole fitting that the tiller extension connects to. Re-attach the extension to the tiller using a tube that inserts into end of both the tiller and the tiller extension. Now there are no bits that stick out that the rope can catch on and wrap itself around.
A bit like this (if the photo up-load works).

I don't think they mean that it gets wrapped rpund the joint at the front, but rather farther back. In my experience (laugh!) it only happens if you have loads (much more than needed) of rope danlging at the time of launch - so with practice it just isn't an issue. By the way, have you managed the variation where the dangly stuff actually goes over the top of the end of the head banger - now that one is fun!

TT- what about an RS6 Avant? A A6 estate (practical) and a 5.0L V10 engine- somewhat pricey, mind.

Likewise, not a diesel fan James, although I do enjoy driving Amys 156 2.4JTD. Goes like stink and sounds somehow like a V6.....

I had a go in one of those hybrid Toyota things the other day, thought great, this'll do the job, then they pointed out they don't tow.
So I'm still in a dilemma, the truck needs replacing, the Amarock aint out yet.

Most people your age drive a Nissan Micra Automatic Grumbles!! I guess this time you would want a car you can reach the peddles, without the use of Gary Glitters platforms??
