Plus you'll ruin the clutch in the 106, and the brakes are shit even just towing a trailer (from experience).
How much is it for you to hire a car trailer/lift thing on a transit? (forgot the name of them!).
It's nearly all motorway so would just be sat at a constant speed, so surly won't kill clutch Sat on a motorway, fair enough if it was stop start all way home it possibly would kill it, and £100 for day but then you got Fuel on top so be about £160/180 by time I done it.
You won't be able to keep a constant tbh, any acceleration with that extra weight puts strain on the clutch whether that's climbing hills or having to speed up after someone cuts you up.
Plus I didn't realise you were towing on the motorway, at max 50mph with such a short space between you and the towed car, if you had to brake hard the 205 would be in your boot.
There's no way I'd risk towing that distance - if it was 20 miles yeah, but not 200, it's up to you obviously though.
