Hope you're health allows you lots of enjoyment driving around Napa....

Yes, friends are such a help. He was very sorry about the damage and he borrowed it because he could not afford a roll back. No help offered materials or other wise. No good getting mad whats done is done. Reminds me I loaned a Helicoil kit that's not found it's way home either. Steve (CTR)

I saw Gordon Kings Choke at the "Mitty" in Atlanta a few years ago, beautiful job-

You lending your trailer story parred mine, lent my double open trailer to a club member to go to Carilse PA to vend parts, probably 600 miles round trip, got it back 6 weeks later, maybe put 4000 miles on it, TX, OK, DC - They were picking up used Triumps along the way

Dropped it off after midnight, Jack cutoff the front, bent rim, out of alignment, just a major piss off-

Took me 2 years to get it aligned properly, wore out a lot of tires in that 2 years

He was hauling with a Dodge Dakota,fell asleep twice in TX, rolled the Dodge,broke out all the windows and the trailer had hay on the rim of the spare tire mounted on the side they left one TR6 beside the road,stripped off the good parts and kept on trucking

Nice guys

When I worked on GKs Choke I took it for a 200 mile test drive. People drove me crazy everywhere I stopped. Don't think I have been that sun/wind burned, eyes red and gritty, hearing seriously affected and plain beat since a kid. Can't wait to complete mine so I can do it again. Steve (CTR)

PS: I have been good about loaning my custom built mini hauling trailer. Loaned it last fall with a warning ( Don't back up and you will have no problems. It was returned to me jack knifed and the tongue twisted 6 inches off center. No bad enough they decided to jack knife the other way to straighten and broke the weld in the tongue. Tongue is 2.5 sq tube 1/4 wall new one going in now. I guess no more loaning the trailer.

FOUND, THANK YOU!     Can somebody recommend a person to transport my Moke from Orange County California to Napa?  It is about 450 miles.
