Trailer Trash

[Guest]

I just bought this fine piece of pikeyness for 150 notes. It's almost new, it's galvanised, and the lights work, sort of. Now I can be that annoying twat in front of you who won't go above 59 mph.

 

NB: Alfa not included - that would have made the price 175.

 

Italian comedy electrics mean that I get both car tail lights but only the offside trailer light, or I get the nearside car light and both trailer lights, and the rig switches between these modes at random every minute or so. When I use the indicators, they make a noise like the self destruct sequence on a TV starship.

Does your car have multiplexed wiring? If it does you should use a 7 way bypass relay for the trailer electrics. http://uk-trailer-parts.co.uk/7-way-uni ... ng-diagram

Cheers, I will look into that. The best word to describe the wiring of this car is "Italian".

Good stuff! I love a handy trailer. If I had somewhere to keep one, I'd definitely be doing the same.

You can keep the trailer on the car's roofrack when you don't need it

 

Good work, Breadvan. I can't wait to read about the Daimler Conquest you collect on it!

It appears when viewed through a trailer your Alfa reg reads as 'fuel fun', which is rather cool.

I always think of it as saying Fee Fi, as in Fo Fum.

 

It has already been pointed out to me that there may be a sort of "pop will eat itself" problem when the Alfa needs to be loaded onto the trailer, but, actually, this is a three bike motorcycle trailer, with a 500 kg load limit, so I will have to wait for some more bits of the Alfa to fall off before I can get it on there.

Very nice indeed. easy to pick up and manoeuvre I bet...

 

My wife thought it was to load the RR on. Bless.
