Loved the recent installment of Harry's Garage and his use of the Testarossa for transportation duties.

Brompton bikes and outboard motors are probably not the sort of things most Ferraris get used to transport!

So show us pictures of your unusual transport arrangements.

I'll kick off proceedings with a photo of a folding bike in my Caterham. How's that for integrated transport?!

Maybe a bitsa comprising a late XR4x4 platform & XR4i body put together and registered 2009 with a '91 plate based on the platform?

Someone's put 4x4 badges on the wings.

The towing M5 reminded me of a Silver Shadow I once saw at Oulton Park hitched up to a car trailer. Also saw this heading down the motorway biggrin

I saw an old Morgan towing a caravan up a hilly bit of the A34. It was struggling!

Had cats in my 911, and an engine in the front.

Sorry no pic but envisage an rx8 stuffed to the brim with many many bags of tree bark. Some interesting looks from people in the b&q car park that day.
