There is an rx7 for sale here in the $201X forum that I really think I need to own. Problem is, I am in NW Ohio, and the car is in Virginia.

I am currently working six days a week, with various Sunday's being thrown into the schedule. A road-trip is just not in the cards for me right now.

So, I am asking if there is anyone between Fredericksburg,VA and Toledo, OH with a trailer that would be willing to help me out?

Will pay for fuel/food, and will also throw in an agreed-upon amount of $$$ for time/hassle.

Thanx for any help.

Will

Put your request up at www.racepa.com. Lot's of racers from around the Pittsburgh area, many with access to a trailer, and lot's of great people. Heck, if I had access to a trailer I'd do it for you!

In reply to Hungary Bill:

Yeah, I thought about Uship, but the car comes with a good bit of spares... Like an extra set of fenders, hood, driveshaft, and 17 wheels. Pretty small car to try and jam all of that inside a car, that has a cage, and then let whatever Billy-Bob that takes the job try to drive it onto his hauler.

What kind of time frame are we talking? I'm down to be the wheelman if someone's got a trailer. I'll do it cannonball style, too.

You have a decent truck to haul with? I have a couple trailer options I'm working on. My Jeep is not really set-up for towing.

But two of my bosses told me tonight that they would give me a day or two off to make this run, as long as I come back to Ohio with a race car.

Hey Graf,

I'm in Richmond, VA, and travel back to visit friends in Columbus, OH every so often. I have a truck I can borrow from work for the weekend, but no trailer. What sort of timeframe are you on? I probably won't be back up until it warms up a bit (March-April), but could easily drag the car up on a Uhaul trailer and put the spares in the bed.

You'll need to log in to post.
