Hey all,

I was just wondering if anyone would have or know of a car trailer that could be used for a couple days? Or the best/cheapest place to hire one from? I need to pick up a car off Ben (type3disease)

Cheers, Ben

Try your nearest petrol station, they all have them.

Pm Jase or FUCH and get the number of John Stumpous the towie.

Cheaper than a trailer hire and you only have to make a phone call.

He is a mate of Sasha from Delux (FUCH) and has towed countless VW's.

As for the petrol stations.......have you checked how much they charge for just a few hours? Even made me consider buying one of my own and hiring it out for half the price.........make my money back in no time lol

Thanks a lot guys,

Jimmy, ill give Linden a call today and see what he can do.

A trailer might be a little more handy, its just i think im going to need to do a couple trips over a few days taking it back and forth, etc so if i go for a hire company id be forkin out 300ish for 3 days.

If anyone has one i'd be willing to negotiate a reasonable price to borrow it for a few days :)

I have a single axle car trailer. It fits cars up to the size of a Gemini or Corolla. I'm located near Werribee.

When do you need the trailer? I will need it on Monday and probably next weekend also.

Note that being single axle, a car is fine, but a car with a few extra engines or gearboxes in the back is gonna overload it.

The trailer's dimensions are 346cm long and 163cm wide on the bed. I've never used it to tow a VW with. It was designed for a front-engined car, so you would have to put a VW on it rear-first to get the weight distribution right.

My usual price for borrowing the trailer is a bottle of Kahlua per day. Comes with straps, chains etc in the side box. UFUF rules apply. (U Fook, U Fix!)

Cheers,

I got sick of paying $200-300 to hire for a few days a 20 foot, tandem axle, 900kg trailer to tow a 600kg, 10 foot car (Mini). I paid $800 for my single axle, 13 foot, 400kg car trailer at Geelong swap about five years ago. Bargain!! It's paid for itself many times over. I can even tow my my Moke on it behind my Corona (slowly), as it sneaks under the 1000kg weight limit. 8)

Thanks heaps for the offers guys but after finding out im gonna need to tow a 64 EH the same day i think ill just hire a trailer.
Moving two cars makes hiring one seem a little more reasonable lol

Thanks again guys,
Cheers, Ben
