The Great Trailer Run!!

[Kickaha]

The trailer is at my work in Chch, need someone to get it to Picton, although the ferry crossing would have to be organised unless someone has room to store it Blenheim/Picton area until something is sorted out

[Sniper]

If someone has a car with a towball that they trust me to use, Im heading up to Blenheim on Friday and back down Saturday so I can take the trailer up and leave it in Picton if that suits.

[KLOWN]

Just to update my pm to you, I will be leaving palmy on 16th dec and be able to take trailer all the way up to auckland.

Ogri,

if you could grab the trailer off Kickaha and take it up to Picton that would be great!
Also, if you could put the trailer on the ferry by it's lonesome, I'll bank transfer the ferry money to you asap!
Is that cool? if not we'll just have to arrange something else.

If we can try and plan this thing.......
ajturbo picks it up from welly ferry and takes it up to palmy...
klown takes over and brings it up to orkland.....

Can we see this happening? I CAN!

The rest of you guys, just hang on before you turn your backs. Incase this doesn;t happen according to 'plan'.

ps much appreciated for all the efforts thus far.... this site ROCKS!

[ajturbo]

It would have to go on bluebridge as tranzrail dont take unaccompanied trailers


Hi Warwick,

Thanks for your inquiry. Yes we do take unaccompanied trailers, but all such inquiries should be directed to our Freight department - give them a call on 0800 162 322 and they will be able to give you prices etc.

Kind regards,

Just an update.... the trailer is still at Kickaha's work and due to the festive season's usual rushing about I guess nothing has really been done since then.
My plans have changed along the way and I will only require the trailer late Jan or Feb.

However, I'll like to start working on this trailer run again sometime in early Jan so that we can get Spankme the funds raised for next year as I'm sure it'll help him and his team better plan for the year ahead.

Thanks once again to all who've helped, supported and contributed good ideas, your help to complete this fundraiser would be much appreciated!!!

Kickaha - let me know if there's any cost involved in storing the trailer at your work and I'll sort it out asap!

[Sketchy_Racer]

i could possibly do timaru to chch in a couple of weeks time after my final exams, only one hitch though my cruiser is 24v & would blow the bulbs in the brake/indicator lights!

if you want a 12v convertor for your vehicle, Pm me and i will give details for Bayden sprozen, he build these and has sold about 50 of them....

Ok all,

Looks like the trailers on the road again!
Will reach Picton on Sat and get on ferry Sun to cross the channel with ajturbo picking it up at Welly to take it up to Palmy on Mon!!

It's all coming together now and I'm happy to say the KB funds will be growing by a couple of hundred very soon!

Remember to take pics of the trailer where possible for our scrapbook!!!

Thanks guys!

Well that turned to custard not long after I spoke to you, so errrrr it's not going anywhere just at the moment

[Madguitarist!]

Guys,

Got a mate with a van and a towbar but no lighting wiring...any ideas?
She's happy to get it to Picton but not sure if it's a good idea to tow all that way without trailer lights?

[crashe]

Can her vehicle lights be seen from behind, as there aint nothing on the trailer

Then it shouldnt be a problem...


Ok technically she should have the trailer lights working...but I figure as long as ALL others travelling behind her can see all her lights (indicators and brake) then its ok... and that she sticks to the speed limit and doesnt do anything to attract the attention of the lovely police officers, then she should get it to Picton ok.

Do others agree with that...?

[Virago]

Yes, I'd agree - provided she is towing in daylight hours, and her vehicle lights (brake & indicators) can be clearly seen from behind, it shouldn't be a problem.

[Madguitarist!]

Well, that's another failed attempt.
Me mate is not too keen on towing without the wiring so I'm going to have to come up with something else.

Anyone making in Chch making a trip to Picton sometime inthe next 2 weeks?
