Hey JP! You want a nice big high top tranny? It's only an opinion, but I reckon you'd be better of speaking to Big H in connection with such matters. He sourced the gay Brazilian dwarf Raoul without too much bother, so getting a transvestite would be a piece of piss.

Took two large trailers this year and struggled!!
Took an old Chevy pickup this year and left it on the back of a car transporter  |

Mark. Have you tried looking for an old Army Lorry. Purchase as either a classic or a 7.5 tonner, and you are sorted. It will look the part, cost very little and be a serious race contender for the Commer  Look in Land Rover World for the surplus suppliers. |

Robbo, Rather than a lorry, an old Scimitar would do nicely - top speed on the road of 55mph, ability to negotiate any gravel trap with ease and a 30mm Rarden cannon for self-defence on the track. Would blow the rest of the opposition into the weeds so to speak, leaving only the immortal Commer to battle with down Mulsanne......mind you stints between pit stops for refuelling would be pretty short.........

Robbo, Rather than a lorry, an old Scimitar would do nicely - top speed on the road of 55mph, Surprisingly quick are the Scorpians and Scimitars, I was pottering along about 40mph on the Windsor/ Ascot road, when I was overtaken by a Scorpian driven by a member of the Blues and Royals. I think I was lighting a ciggie at the time, scared the sh*t out of me, as I wasn't concentrating on what was following  |

Wow! what a fantastic Austin Paralanian camper! Think they might need a Commer there next year. Actually, saw three Commer "at work" at Goodwood this year, including a burger van run by a bloke called Felix and also the wonderful Ecurie Ecosse Commer transporter that took the 57 winning Jag D Type to and from La Sarthe.

Blimey Andy, I hadn't realised that this was a Commer based piece of kit! I'm not sure about the bag-o-shite that some 'erberts parked next to it though.
Sadly, I didn't make Goodwood this year, so the stockings and mascara (I hadn't realised you could put it there!!) will have to wait for another day. I heard that no tickets were available on the gate on Sunday, so it must have been a sell out, top stuff.
(Been a bit blue-*rsed recently, and it hasn't just been the cold snap. Hurricanes out west have kept me occupied, but I daren't complain, those poor sods out there have had to sit through it, it's been a tough month and there's more to come. My thoughts are with them. - San Salvador had 140mph winds and a 15ft surge for 30 hours, and I was meant to be there at the time...)

As alternative LM transport goes, I think this Finish bus company probably takes some beating.
