    I bought a heavier duty car hauler, which means that mine is now available.

    I built it back in 2003 as a hauler for my Civic and CRX. For that purpose, it is perfect. I now have a Jeep that I need to tow occasionally though, which is why I stepped up to the heavier trailer. The Jeep has been on this one, but it was marginal. For a racecar though, this one is good. It's light (less than 1000#) so if you're trying to save weight behind a mid-size tow vehicle, this will help. The relationship between the tires and the deck is such that the door opens all the way (which is also why it doesn't have fenders). I've put tens of thousands of miles on it and it has served me very well. If not for the need for towing heavier vehicles, I'd be keeping it.

    4' is too wide for me. Nice looking trailer though.

    Nice chesticles too.

    Yeah, 4' wide would mean our Minis would fall right through!

    Is the price out of line? I would have thought that $1K for a twin axle hauler with brakes would have gone quick.

    I sold one without brakes locally for 300. It had new tires, but no suspension, so rode rough. It was a good, solid trailer though.

    I think I saw you at the last SoloAtlanta autocross. Was that you they were calling the bugduster?

    I realize now my trailer is too small and I need to bump up or go to a car piggy-back item. I wish I could help Dave, I wish we could work something out but distance, timing $$$ and I won't need it for some time....

    Ever been to New York?

    Kidding.

    The Cortina is too far from finished to think about a trailer, wish I could do it.

    But here's the bump anyway. It's good stuff.

    Perhaps. My turbo leaks oil into the exhaust, so it creates a smoke screen sometimes. Hence the fake driver names on the side - T. Chong and C. Marin.
