New support / Tow vehicle

Post by pablo »

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:

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.

i would suggest a pick-up, cheaper tax due to it being a commercial vehicle

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