So Keith Is it Pay Back Time? Would Love to See Russell Make A Pass Or two in Your Looker LOL   Grin Grin

I dont think it will make a 2nd pass if Russell does get a chance,  1 reverse burnout and launch should be enough to finish it off,Eh Keith Wink Cheesy

Keith,

Is that a Brian James AM-T100 trailer? I`m looking for a small trailer, max load 1300kg. Are you happy with yours? Stable and easy to load/unload.

Sorry for the off topic.

Well, it's a Brian James Clubman – about five years or so old, so slightly different to the current range, but only in looks. Easy to load single-handed with just a hand-operated winch. Stable at 75mph loaded or empty (whoops...) and perfect for a Beetle. Bought mine off eBay from someone who hill-climbed a Caterham. Go for it!

Thanks Ian – Matt Chapman should take the credit for the paint and body. He did it all at home about 12 or 13 years ago, and it still looks perfect.

She's at sea – at last! Currently off the coast of Devon and only about 90 miles as the crow flies from where I live!:

Amazing how you can track shipping on the Internet…  Cool

Did wonder if it was ever going to set sail as the new US Customs on-line form-filling system has been a nightmare for all concerned. Then the shippers decided to split our four vehicles into two separate containers, and only one got shipped to begin with! But, finally, we made it. Tonight the container vessel should clear Land's End and be Atlantic bound! Still a long way to go but it's a start…

its okay, he can collect it off the north coast of Cornwall, along with all the other salvage he got in 2008 last time a container ship went belly up.
