To make the process of being stranded not as painful, I've found that it's best to adopt the practice used by British car owners, you know, the ones using Joseph Luca electrics.
Unfortunately, the Cobra trunk, albeit relatively large, isn't big enough to carry all you'll need. Therefore, a cell phone and AAA card may be your best friends. The tow strap is a good thing, too. Add to these a canvas pouch with the basic tools: screwdrivers, pliers, flashlight, wire, tape, knife, revolver
, a small throw rug,
oil and whatever I missed. You may be able to fix the problem yourself.
When I had to have my car flat-beded, we pulled it on forward. Fortunately, the driver was prepared. He had two lengths of 2X6's that served as ramps. They worked very well, both for the Cobra and GT40, although it was close with the later. We attached the strap to the lower control arm on each.
If you do have your car pulled on backwards, don't forget that there's a ramp problem at that end, too. It's easy to forget the end that's going on last. But an advantage with going on backwards is it's easier to attach the strap and clear the body work. Still, keep an eye on the other end as the car is pulled on.
