View Full Version : CSL cup race transporter
Expensive game this racing malarky:bigcry:
Brought the M3 to compete in the CSL cup with Radders, found out it wouldnt go in my 7.5t racetruck, we looked for a suitable truck up to £30kish, but believe it or not I couldnt find anything, either taillift wouldnt lift the M3, the garage werent big enough, not enough beds and so on.. so I decided the only way was to find a truck (Scania), damaged caravan and a coach builder and build our own from scratch :thumbs:
Should be finished end of this month, 8 berth 2x LCD tvs, xbox, LED lighting, onboard silent genny, 250ltr water tanks, 500 litre fuel tank, 200litre petrol tank (to fill the M3 up from), chequer plated garage and so on.... some pics so far :smokin:
caravan WAS quite tidy....:hahaha:

Agreed, and you wont go far wrong with Scania either. What have you done to that caravan!?!?:hahaha:

Certainly one of the best ways of doing it.

I think so, its to our exact spec and will work out cheaper than buying a completed high spec Scania. Our guy built this one..you'l; recognize the steps!

tried to get Radders to sell his SuperLeggera and buy this :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Are you leaving the rear axle where it is Hazy? seems to have a lot of sweep on the back end! wouldnt make too many sharp turns alongside anything !:hahaha:

Dont you start!!
Radders has already been on at me!
I will have to be careful with the swing, but its no longer than your average coach, I think the rear chassis were stretched from new to accomodate the unusually long body (30ft) which carried light but bulky stuff (bog roll etc :D)
A normal 27ft body would have only given about 11ft for living..not enough IMO

Small world - I used to do business with MST (previous owners of the truck) before they were bought over last year :thumbs:
CSL Cup is shaking up to be a cracking one this year - Thorney, I hope you've got more space for all our trailers because Castle Combe in particular last year was a bit of a tight squeeze!

I have to say (I'm not counting my chickens yet) but we could even have a 20 car grid for first race. Fingers crossed.

Sorry to hear about that Hazy, but don't worry about the news John just needs a little time to get things finalised; you'll be happy when you find out don't worry :thumbs:

If it means some kindly soul giving me a great big pot of £20 notes, that would definately help mate. Seem to be spending it quicker than I earn it ATM.....

Coach style lift up locker doors (two left to be fitted tomorrow, garage chequer plated top to bottom with LED spots set in, tyre rack for 12+ wheels.
