Right i'm in Chelmsford, need to pick up a 200 in eastbourne,

car doesn't drive, tubby and gearbox not fitted

and no i can't do it on the spot and drive it back


any ideas how i can get it back :annoyed:

[arry]

tow it round the corner, call the AA and tell em your turbo dropped off :wack:

Options are simple - tow it avoiding motorways or source a trailer

[Saunders]

tow it :thumbs:

get one of those tow bars. get some ones to sit in it and steer while you do silly speeds :wack:

or get it low loaded but big money

[Saunders]

iv towed on the motorway late at night

so have i, but doesn't mean its legal ;)

east bourne involves alot of motorway,

and i bought my mates will give up on a night out to help me,

got to do it by saturday.

those tow bars are good,

but when i took my 200 to colchester we managed to snap one! 1 mile from Steves house :annoyed:

it saw scary in the dark (flat battery so i had no lights)

couldn't see a thing apart from my mates rear lights blinding me!

make sure you've taxed it a bit before (ie not on the same day) and that the brake discs don't have rust on them or they get a bit funny :wack:
Managed to get them to trailor a car from Hartlepool to Oxford ;) :D

[Rob-S13]

i doubt it's tax'd

[voodoo_melon]

get one of those tow bars. get some ones to sit in it and steer while you do silly speeds :wack:It needs to be taxed and insured to be towed like this. You need an a-frame thing which steers the car if it's not insured.

i doubt they'd fall for the "my turbo fell off" routine either :wack:

[Rob-S13]

can u rent trailors ?

[arry]

can u rent trailors ?

uhuh :nod: Not cheap tho

[Saunders]

better of getting it lo loaded prob cheeper the hiring

[MattyGee]

can u rent trailors ?


yeah, they arent that expensive :)

[Rob-S13]

how much roughly?

if i get this car, i'm gona either

break it,

put the gear box and turbo on and sell it. (h-reg standard 75000, ok condidtion whats it worth?)

or use it for drifting- not likely although this what i'd most like to do!

so i don't want to pay out to much cash, got to make some money(one day)

[Rob-S13]

Does anyone on here in the essex area have a trailor to rent?
