    Trailer help...

    Quite interested in a car, but its in Sandwich Kent and i'm in Gloster!

    Now, the front is a bit pranged and the engine dont work so if i do get it i'm needing some way of getting this thing back?

    Might have use of a decent trailer, just need a towing vehicle?

    Anyone with some leads for the above or someone that can pick the car up for me a deliver it?

    Why do i do this to myself!

    been there several times mate. It's bloody hard without owning your own flat bed.

    what kind of mileage is it from you? I found that independent places (local breakdown types) would deliver for about £1 a mile. Even if it's not a service they normally do you might find someone that would do you a good turn for a few quid if it's not far off a planned route. It can be much cheaper than paying fuel both ways and renting a vehicle/trailer. I'm sure one of the nice lads on the forum will come to your rescue though.
    What you found by the way? PM me if you're scared anyone south of the border will jump in before you

          The one way trip is nearly 200 miles!

          Straight east, through London and to the coast!

          Anyone.

              200 miles one way eh? hmm. how about you insure it, have it moved a short distance to a lampost and park it against said metallic pole, then call the AA or RAC and demand they take you home because you've just swerved to avoid a dog and crashed your car!

                    I had a breakdown round the ring once and I had to get some special cream.
