On my way home from Las Vegas NV, Friday afternoon, I saw something I could hardly believe.
I would have taken a pic, but alas, I was on the freeway @ 75 dragging a
U-Haul with my 'mini f-350' (Ranger)

And old <<< emphasis here, Austin Mini Cooper, pulling a trailer.
not any old trailer---one that was made just for this car.

This little Mini had the roof removed from the door back, to make a teeny tiny pick-up, (maybe 2 ft). The trailer was a gooseneck and was being used to tote one of those big ATV 4-wheelers around.

The gooseneck actually went inside the teeny bed.

"Cute" little car (Bright Blue with what appeared to be a set of polished mag wheels) with the 8" wheels and tires.

Saw this car in Lordsburg, NM., and I suppose he was headed for some rocks to climb with the 4-wheeler.

He was actually on the onramp to the freeway and he appeared to be accelerating at a pretty good clip, so I am pretty sure there is some serious engine compartment modifications.

I would think it a pretty good choice for a tow vehicle

If the tow vehicle breaks down---the 4-wheeler could still tow everything home

If anyone knows who owns this thing----post some pics.
I thought it was cool and different.

kinda Like this one? I saw one of these today

Thats cool, bad rat..yesterday my wife and I saw the Oscar Meyer weiner mobile.. I swear we did. It was probably going to the Garlic festival..


I remember there was a guy with a model A sedan that had a goosneck ball mounted on his roof and he towed a little baby travel trailer around with it.. I remember seeing that at pleasanton GG show a few times.

There was a link around here somewhere that showed really old travel trailers, some were made up as ypu describe, with the hitch in the "trunk/bed" of a passenger car.

I suppose a little car could handle a fair amount of tongue weight if the hitch was over the axle.

I tried to do a google image search for any or all of that but came up empty handed.....

I saw that here in town quite a few years ago. No clue where it was going though.

They actually drive it on the street.....

Hey Malc, are those pics from your vacation?

I'll say one thing about that farmer with the farm implement is that he knows how to load a trailer...That little blazer is hardly squatting.

Hate to see it if it starts to wagging though.

Later, mikey

That pic of the farmer looks like the before part of a bad ending story. I sure hope he made it.

There's probably 3,500 to 4,800 Lbs. on behind that thing, looks like a bunch more, but I'm betting not. Those older cotton pickers are pretty light from the drive wheels on back. If that Blazer has a 4.3, I could see doing that for a short drive (5 miles or less on a smooth country highway). Heck, in the first picture in my project journal, I've got roughly 6,500 to 7,000 on behind my old 4.3 C1500.
And before you ask, no, I wasn't legal, and yes, it was 0 to 45 in 60 minutes....
