looking at a few for the scoob in the next week or so, so what size make model do you use to trailer your impreza with?

what sort off security do you have thinking chains to a tree and fence and two wheel clamps.

cheers guys

 

depends what your after,

i personnaly use a ebrain james tilt bed,

mine has a tracker, wheel clamp and hitch clamp, aswel as been in my garage.

ive seen people flat bed them away though

 

 

I also have a Brian James tilt bed trailer, its looks a bit ruff but does the job well and was cheap

 

brain james trailers go for good money not really fussed on tilt bed's ramps will do the trick.

indespension is round the corner from me so wanted a rough idea on the sort i want to be looking at

cheers simi

 

what price do these things go for new and 2nd hand

 

brian james new £2000+ for a decent size and spec

secondhand about £800-1000 but then some other makes can be had for around £300+ just depends on what you want tilt bed or ramps electric or manual winch....

 

I use a Brian James A-Max 230 (AM-T-230) fitted with the optional longer loading ramps. Expensive but a seriously awesome bit of kit.

I use it mainly for trailering my 06 STi, but I have been known to use it for....

* shifting my mate's cars
* shifting 3-piece suites
* shifting chest freezers
* sitting on at track days and having a picnic
* standing on so I can reach the roof of my tow car to wash it

 

nice one guys, seems like a great bit of kit to have around, i have a racing quad that i would love to take to track days plus my car. will look into it.

optional longer loading ramps, i take it thats for lower cars ?

 

You got it!

Apparently I could get a Radical on my trailer....

....why I'd ever want to is another question altogether!

 

The only problem I have with my Brian James is that the front doors now hit the trailer arches when opening them due to how low the car is now. Not a major problem but does look a bit weird when i have to climb in and out of the window

 

Dukes of Hazzard styleee!

 

We recently purchased a RL 6000 Race Liner from Woodford Trailers and have been extremely pleased with it to date. Very similar to the Brian James stuff and they obviously do smaller trailers and race liners as well, we just needed a big one as our race car is so wide.

I would definitely suggest looking at them as an alternative to Brian James.

nice one guys,

Radical sounds good

 

I used to tow my rally car around on a PRG 14' sport - perfect trailer and a lot cheaper than Brian James - hardly any difference in spec and towed perfectly at any speed.

just my two pence

Cheers

i use a:

PRG Trailers - Quality Car Transporter Trailers

not sure of the exact model, but good bit of kit and never let me down!
