We sell the Erde range at work. Your closest depot would be Northampton. The Erde three bike has a higher gross weight and load capacity than the two bike. It runs 13 in wheels instead of 10in.

In terms of a car what about a VW Touran or Sharan or Seat Alhamabrarbaba?
I've been looking at them as they are economical, large and the seats completely remove leaving a flat floor to carry anything you want in the back/lay a mattress down and kip in overnight if you arrive the day before on track days.
You can pick a fairly decent one of these up for anything between £2.5k for high mileage to £5k for a medium mileage. Leaving plenty for even a nice box trailer or just a two bike trailer leaving you loads of cash left over.

Problem is I am a tart, hence the TT I had before and I want a nice car.

I drive the car every day and will only be doing 6-10 track days a year so still want something that's nice to drive.

Initially I was just going to get an A3 as it's pretty much the same as the TT but they are so expensive for what they are. I'll have a look at a Golf but I think they are even more overpriced than the Audi.

I've had a look at a Mazda 6 today, it's big enough to sleep in the back but still a pretty nice car and you get a lot of toys for your money but I've heard the diesel engines are unreliable and the petrol ones are rare in anything but poverty spec.

Maybe have a look at something crazy like a 540 touring, 15 year old 4.4l v8s with 200k miles on are cheap to run yes????

Those trailers are a lot more expensive than I was expecting, I thought I'd get something half decent for £200!

Na your TT was expensive.
The trailers small change in comparison and will keep its value better.
Get a top speck Scoda Estate.

We get that comment a lot about the price of trailers. We do get used ones pop up from time to time.

What about a nice blinged up pick up truck? Mitsubishi or Toyota?

Second on the Skoda Estate - Octavia VRS

NTECUK · 23-07-15, 03:55 PM

Nice vrs spec. Reasonable estate size.
Competent engine.
Better than a pikey pickup truck

Be careful with the VRS, some tow bars won't fit. Also be aware some sport models won't have a tow bar available for them (we sell tow bars as well as trailers)

Can you enlighten us more
