OK - only a few days to go and "spots" 2, 4 & 5 (of this thread) are "Reserved" and still empty. We are all waiting with baited breath for some fantastic last minute Advice/Words of wisdom/Encouragement from the illustrious trio of Clinto, Warthog and Gimpy.

I noticed that too - a little crude though, running chains over bodywork edges rather than dedicated "D" rings etc. "MIND THE PAINT". You would have thought that the build specs for the trailer would have catered for all the expected loads!
I do however consider the covered wheels of the A1 (&...
