David should easily be able to get that little sucker up to 220kph on I-5.

This really is genius. If I didn't already have a utility trailer I'd be looking to pick one of these up.

    Well with the V8 I might be able to, but not with the V6, however after looking closer at that trailer I honestly would not feel comfortable over about 140kph with that one, as the axles are 2 separate pieces for left and right leaving too much wiggle room for the wheels to possible toe in or out and even a fraction of an inch at 200kph would be a nightmare to handle.

I have been thinking about buying the big brother to my current trailer, Link and it happens to be a folding unit, however it folds from the front to the back and then stands up on its tail for easy storage. Leaving the axle a solid one piece unit. It has the larger 4ftx8ft deck vs my 40"x72" deck. That extra 2 feet in length and 8" wider will make a huge difference. Load carrying is pretty much the same as just shy of 3/4 ton. To be frank anything more than 3/4 ton and the Fiero has problems stopping it from 140kph.

I did just buy a new Trailer Hitch for the V8 Fiero and already have the brackets for the Lebaron Brakes. If I ever make it back to Canada to finish the damn car it would be really nice to be back driving it. I am probably going to sell my 88GT down here then fly back, finish the V8 and drive it down here
