thats what i was waiting for…

well at least to fall off the end anyway

no vid Mark just a pic of you by a pool

you should have seen me and a mate load mine on a trailler.

he said you drive it up and as you do the front of the trailer will lift but don't worry it will came back down and carry on till the car is central.


so i did,

drove the car on the rumps up to the trailer and the front of the tailer came up as i was told.

THEN

it came back down, as i was told.

then i heard "stop STOP!"

so i did.

turns out the rumps popped off the trailer and i had the front wheels on the trailer and the rear wheels  off the trailer,

BUT

the fun didn't stop there cos the rear wheels were ontop of the ramps. and the chassis was touching the trailer too.

had to jack the rear wheels till they were about 6 inches off the floor to get the ramps back on the trailer.


loads of fun.

Try loading a car lowered 80mm onto a trailer then.....oh the fun.

dont know where you went that vid is on donna's profile not mine.

When my MK3 went to the scrappy, it fell off the ramps when they were loading it. Only half way up mind

It slipped off the side and the front bumper was pulled off as it slid back down them.

Good job I'd got the cash off them first

Imagine if you hadn't had cash and they said they were no longer interested with it.
