How did the sums go when you considered:
Trailer purchase cost / rego / maintenance,
Purchase price / running costs / depreciation of a big@rse 4WD,
Compromising what you want in a day to day car vs towing requirements,
Storage space for trailer,
etc, etc, etc
...as opposed to just getting Dave from Trailertow to get you out to the track when you need to and having a nice everyday car for the other 99.5% of the driving you do?

Spooky,
You missed a great '05 Black Dual cab.. F250.. tub. V8 on GraysOnline last week went for about $42k.
Depending on your budget why not import one and convert????The right hand kits are available and engineering won't set you back a huge amount, my father-in law is soon looking at bringing in a couple of F350 SuperDuty's and the right-hand kits.
Plenty of great deals from Texan dealers in US!!!
Food for thought!!!

Hey Oz... Yep I have thought of this option but again $'s will be an issue....I reckon. I'd love an F250 Space cab.... I must watch grays more as they have some good stuff on there....
Having said that, I imported my car trailer and my race car stuff from there (the states just puts alot of aussie stuff to shame even before you factor in the strong AUD) so it may be time I stopped paying customs. I'm almost there number 1 customer!
Got to stop thinking about F trucks......  |

Hmmm Craig... yep I hear u... Ozvenom said to me once that if you worked out what racing cost per lap you'd never do it! As I own 1 1/2 race cars as we speak, plus an exy alumnium trailer, plus a bloody exy race car used 10 odd times a year in a full season knowone in their sane mind would do it...and yet most of us reading this would do it everyday of the week...
I'm owed quite a bit of money and until i see it (if I ever do) I may just get Dave to transport my car to QR for 3 days for SMC... We'll see.
As Tomcat said, yep a RR is a beautiful car... I test drove one before I got the Towrag and loved it but I'm really wanting to move away from the bigger $'s for such cars if I can.... I'm experiencing my own little GFC at the moment!
