Default Car Trailers

Hi All,


I am looking for a suitable car trailer.

After a bit of research I have decided to ask the experts..

I want one that has an enclosed front (to stop stone chips) and to have some storage (I dont need a tire rack).

So people do your stuff.... my tow car can handle 2300kg.

Marty at Kenmer makes a good trailer.
Think he has a semi enclosed one for sale at the moment.

Always a good price for the Vic members

I have a ute: everything goes in the back. Stone chips haven't been a problem. It's light but very well built, and if you ask nicely (I'll give you a few tips) they will make one to suit your exacting requirements

I think it would take a Daytona easily and anything up to about 1600 kg.

Default car trailer

Stiffy, or if the budget stretches... All aircraft grade aluminium weighing 567kg's in total. Your wallet will way significantly less once you buy one though. It tows beautifully though! Electric brakes all 4 wheels, stow away ramps, torsion beam axles...bla bla bla

I know herr Stiffiness likes a little head banging, in whatever order you like, but the above suggestion seems a tad extreme.

Perhaps you should just buy the trailer instead and save all that pleasure and pain for other pursuits!!

Here is state of the art for car trailers (and I do mean "art"!):

http://www.bre2.net/mm5/merchant.mvc...e=car_trailers

Plus it's designed by Peter Brock! How can you go wrong with that?!

Cheers!

That's one dandy trailer Stiffy.
I bet it's got a work bench for apre track activities (if you know what I mean) and probably a few cages for the pussies
