To get the Jaguar on the trailer we needed wheels that would turn
and roll the car, not a novel idea. But we had tires that were flat, flatter
than pancakes, not great for getting the car around.
Fortunately our tires have inner tubes and we were hoping that
they would not be full of cracks like the tires. We filled the inner tube
inside the 35 year old tires and believe it or not they held air! We did
promise to buy new tires next but to get the car on the trailer in a hurry we
had to make do.
We had a big plan to get the car onto the trailer, just the 2 of
us. But as these things go; we needed a new wench, needed fuel for trip, and on
and on. So it was getting to be late afternoon before we could start.
We backed the trailer up onto our driveway but realized that we
did need a little help. One neighbor was home and came over, then another came
home and came over. Soon we had 2 more helpers plus moms and sisters with the
cameras, grandkids running amuck and dogs on leashes to help protect us. It
took a neighborhood to get the car up onto the trailer.
We had a glass of wine to
help settle us at night before our early morning to British Sport Cars.
