Been busy on my trailer (La ******* 2) but remembered need dreaded MOT this week. So last weekend had a look over car and found mudflap a bit loose offside back. OK I'll twiddle it a bit, poke here and there (wish I hadn't) and ................................................OMFG - where's that come from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Spent last weekend sortin' it, welding and stuff - thats why no trailer update.



Nearly there!!!

Not long now guys! Mines insured and MOT'd as of today! Yay!

I was interested about taking a trailor until I found out how much extra it was going to cost Didn't want a roof rack as I'm not keen on the way they look and didn't want to buy a boot rack as they are usually about the size of an A4 piece of paper and cost £80... So we've made one out of an old shelving unit and 2 old bits of wood of a bed which had been varnished. All mounted on to a boot lid I got for £5 and painted matt black

I present to you the ghetto style boot rack!






Functional
