just recently moved house and now weve got a garage (oh sweet parking!!!) and theres enough room for me to bring cherry down and give her a prime spot
under the house near the workshop area...
which means she will be closer to parts and i will have more time to fix her!!
now im just wondering how to get her down here... shes got no rego, the clutch is about to go and the battery is flat... is a car trailer the best bet
or should i be looking at other options?
shes parked at my parents place 100kms away...
i would trailer it... if the clutch goes and you got no battery to turn over the motor you cant stop. if you had a decent battery in it then i would
drive it depending upon what the drive is like - stop start or freeway etc..
trailer is probably best bet though.. bit more hassle if you dont have a car to tow it with tho.
charge the battery, fill the tank, take the gamble and drive her down hehehehe
seriously but - car trailer seems the more sensible option lol
but then again - im partial to hit on 21 lol

I own a towing company, so I know how I would be doing it.....
if I was in the UK tut ;-) I would a frame it back
Trailer it is a good idea. depends what ur towing it with. the caltex trailer hiring was like, $51 for 3 hrs, $100 and something for 6 i think,
somethting like that.
My dad used a V6 3.8 ltr VP commodore to tow my bug home, and it didn't do it exactly with ease. it pulled it alright, but was somewaht a struggle in
situations.
trailer is the cheapest method, when it comes to legal methods.
use the money from trailer hire on the new battery that you needed anyway and drive it! driving clutchless is a useful skill to have anyway :kiss
Yes what Kafer said...
No hassles with a trade tow. You don't have to find a trailer, a car to tow it with, be there, worry about danger etc.
I have moved plenty of cars and I ALWAYS get a tow truck.
Correct me if I'm way out here, but 100km may cost about $120 ?

What you are saying there is quite true.

I love hearing stories about how people are going to have to spend the next 15 years paying for a misguided attempt at saving a hundred bucks....

No way, it has to be driven. Borrow plates, get a permit, drive under he cover of darkness, whatever. Learn how to drive without a clutch and away you go. If you dont know how to drive without a clutch then read the muir guide or ask a truckie how, its not hard. Pedal that bitch home!
Ring a towie.....
get beer
drink till it gets there
save money, be happy and your car will be safe.
