Anyone in Aberdeen got a trailer??? #829402

As the title really,

I was wondering if anyone in aberdeen has a trailer that a coop will fit on??

I have just aquired a new coop but it is out of tax/mot and I need to take it from Newburgh to Dyce (approx. 14miles)

I was going to tow it, but reading up on it this isn't really viable. My license is too new to tow also, so would really need someones help.

Alternatively, does anyone know of a service that does this in the area??

Thanks in advance.

Look up recovery in your yellow pages or trailer hire and do it yourself. Having trailered a coupe 190 miles with a volvo v70 I'd say leave it to those who have the correct equipment

Thanks dude. Found a few places for a trailer, but in the end I managed to get a recovery service to do it for £45 all in.

They're picking it up tomorrow for me smile

Unfortunately, everytime I want to go I end up working!

The only one I made would have been the 07 one, and my coop was in for painting so I had a bloody VW borewagon!

Might get my girlfriend to pop down in the new/or old coop though.

Know anyone who wants to buy a lovely 16VT??? laugh

Is the next question going to be whether anyone knows of a decent paint shop?

Thanks for the comments guys.

It sure is a lovely car, been well looked after and just needs some TLC.

I hope to get it mot'd soon and then start driving it properly, but need to figure that out between work and selling my one frown

Am sorely tempted to run two coops, but my head tells me that is a silly idea.

The thing about your new car is that I've had a hand in a lot of the mechanical work done to it. Now if that doesn't scare you, nothing will! laugh evil
