Quick story about trailers...

Turns out the trailer we rented / borrowed was a touch to wide between the two planks or ramps and the car wouldn go on correctly... Or at all for that matter

Ended up doing a road side imrpov and added spacers on eachside to pull the wheels out 3/4in and get it on..!

We need a good trailer for next year or even the way back! Anyone??
Adrian
