Is it safe to tow the scoob 8 miles with all 4 wheels on the ground?

I need to get my car from my house to the bodyshop which is 8 miles away. Its not in a drivable state at the moment as the rad has bust and the slam panel needs pulling out.

Is it ok to hook a rope up and tow it or does it really need to be on a flat bed trailer?

my wife just towed me a couple of miles home

I really dont think its a problem as long as all four wheels are turning

the issue with AWD is if only two wheels and turning -- this created a load on the centre diff i think
