    Very cool!

    Nice engineering work as well, on the approach angle!

    Hauling loose lumber just doesn't cut it, in some neighborhoods! LOL!

    Hmm, the Cobra R would look REAL nice being unloaded from that when I go to open track events..

    Nice truck Tarek !!!

    One question though, why the soft - I assume removable - sides, and not a solid box ?

    Nice transporter. You must be the official Fchat transporter.

    What material did they use to cover the bed?

    Hi Tarek,

    Nice transporter, I`m glad to see that you have finally bought something in Bianco..!! :)

    A pair of Shields on the doors would look good!
    Let us know when you are in Europe / UK it would be good to meet up.

    Regards,
    Phil.

    Thats a nice setup... I was considering something similar, but I feel more comfortable with hard walls and a lockable environment. Designing a driver side "barn-door" made getting in and out to the car a breeze. It is an absolute must.

    Getting a driver would be the crowning touch, but I have no idea where to begin to find someone.

    Thanks Phil...........didn't have the guts to order the Scud in white, therefore got the MAN truck in white ;).

    It would a pleasure to meet up. I'm often in London. I'll definitely give you a shout next time I'm in your area.

    Regards,

    Tarek

    Very nice Stuart...........is that a truck or a trailor? A driver for the truck is essential...........here it's easy to find drivers. Main thing is to teach them how to properly load and unload the cars.

    Tarek,

    Thanks.

    Its a trailer.. It has a 6000kw generator, heat/ac, winch, loading lights, work lights, enclosed awning and exterior lighting, as well as enough room to work on a car inside. My next transport will be the same box, on a truck chassis, with an elevator lift gate. At that point - the arrival/departure grade percentage goes to zero.

    Great looking rig Tarek, I could have used one last year for the trip up to Watkins Glen, 3,400 KM in the 360 Spider with racing seats was just a bit much for a long weekend!

    This should serve you well and in style.

    It would be my choice over a trailer.

    Thanks Bob...........3400 kms is a bit too much for me as well.

    I agree with you, I bought a trailer a few months ago, but found it to be a bit inconvenient. The truck makes things much easier.

    This is a nice set up too. What's the advantage if any to a soft sided carrier?
