Resistance is Futile!

Went down Dickie's to pick up the car this morning early, managed to get the brakes unbound and the car rolling nicely, huffed and puffed and pushed it onto the road, backed up the trailer, lowered the ramps and the 420 is too wide! didn't fit at all - major fail!

The Brian James trailer is used by a local dude who runs it up to Coombe to race his collection of sports cars. The 430 was about five inches too wide!

Have to come up with plan B. Anybody got a 'big ass' trailer for a 'big ass' car?

4 space savers,will that give you enough room?

[mikeb]

Nope, the trailer had about a five inch side guard that the rear lower spoiler even fouled. The tyres would not even fit into the ramp guides either. Need a bigger one. This trailer was meant for girly sports cars obviously

Where about are you.
Maybe speak to some of the racers, as they all have wide trailers, as we all had the same problem of getting TVR's to fit.
Brian James do too widths of trailers one that fits and one that dont.

Can you squeeze those 5-bolt 5-spokes from the BMW under the arches?
