G'Day
I will be taking an empty tandem car trailer from Townsville to the Sunshine Coast around the 8th or 9th of January 02. I am going down to pick up my 58 FC Special Sedan .
If anyone has a car ( or whatever ) that needs to make all or part of the journey , please email me at chrisstokes@bigpond.com.
I would be happy for some diesel for the 'cruiser or beers or whatever.
Cheers,
Chris.
Here's a tip for towing the FC.
I was transporting my FE on a tandem trailer down Port Wakefield Road, there was long left hand bend that I slowed for by lifting off the gas (100 down to 85-90). When I did this the trailer started to sway a little, thinking the worst with the loved ones on board, I tried to slow further, I got to 80 and things got really scary. Figuring less speed made it worse, I sped up gradually and the sway disappeared.
The trailer was pretty highly sprung to start with and the FE was without the motor so the package was around 9 foot high and pretty light.
I hope you have a good trip!
