Re: [DML] towing a delorean

The trailer itself can also make a huge difference. 

When we took our car from St. Louis to the Cleveland show we borrowed 
a trailer from a friend and what a nightmare! All over the hiway. I 
had to pry my hands off the steering wheel in Cleveland. On the trip 
back we loaded up the trunk of the D with some ballast and strapped 
the ramps to the front of the trailer. Handled better.

On our trip to Houston this year we used a race car trailer that we 
bought and it worked like a dream. Could park the D anywhere on it 
and it pulled and handled flawlessly even during a hiway speed 
evasive manuever to miss some debris in the road.

The main difference in these two trailers is where the axles where 
located. The race car trailer had them set back further.
