New 4wheeled toy

And its a big one the 7 look kind of lost on it

If needing /wanting to borrow at any point let me know. Its a flatbed and also has removable sides so can be used to move loads of different stuff around. With landrover or similar towing you can shift about 2900kg as trailer is 600kg and is plated to 3500kg. Though need to be careful about licenses as after a certain date of passing you need to sit another test to pull a trailer that heavy as landrover and trailer together fully loaded is 5900kg legally

Just need to try to get one of those silly little low cars on it as the step onto the ramps is rather steep

Nice bit of kit! Something else for you to drive your landrover over I see

You wouldn't happen to be anywhere near glasgow this coming weekend?... with trailer?

Nice one Paul

I'd say whirling the nose up with the jockey should flatten the angle between ramps & bed enough for the banana

In fact - does it fit 2 7s?

Getting 7 on is easy with the Hi-lift jack just need to see if i need to take some extending planks to get the likes of an exige on as they have those low sticky out bits at the front where as a 7 has low bits in the middle. Or you just use a forklift

One room for one 7 as the landrover is actually only slightly longer then the 7

I had a honda civic on it as it only just fitted length wise but if i take the headboard off then you can get longer cars on as the bed is 12ft long and 6ft6" wide

I had enough trouble getting my car on the AAs low loader, i doubt mine would get on there..... The guy insisted that it would be ok to use one to these slider pads things under the front diffuser.....i was having none of it! Took about 20 minutes to get it on, i hope they were just as careful getting it off again......

Spose i better get used to it!

Looks just like the trailer I brought the Tiger up from Norfolk on when i first bought it. - it was DAMN close getting it up , even with the front of the trailer jacked up to the max. - for an exige you could just find a hill or a really big curb?????

Getting a car on and off the trailer is not difficult

Getting it on and off in one piece is a bit more of a challenge

You really don't want to know how i got a renault 5 on the old trailer. It involved the landrover and some scraping noises. Then to remove it i chained the trailer to a scrap car and then dragged the renault back off again. Though all 4 wheels were rusted solid.

Just need a willing volunteer up here to identify any clearance issues for and elise/exige should there be a blow up at a trackday.
