Been thinking about a dedicated support / tow vehicle for the track car for some time. I wanted a vehicle that I could happily through engine parts, alloys and other car bits into without being concerned about damaging it.
Ended up getting a 4x4 that i've always slated :roll:

Nice Pablo - been really tempted to do this myself after the recent outings in one.

I've found a company not to far from me that hires trailers, so hopefully will be able to trailer the car to the ring next year.....So need to go back there

pablo how much are the trailers mate as looking at swapping the scoob for a 4x4 and having a dedicated td car. Been offered a p/x on a merc ML270 but would want a cheaper 4x4. Was considering buying a trailer but if its cost effective then maybe a hiring is an option.

Defo cheaper for me to rent the trailer then. L200/Animal etc out as it will be shells daily driver and although Ive convinced her that selling the scoob and getting/building a dedicated TD car is the way forward there are limits

. If and when the scoob sells considered something like a kia sportage.
