    I once had an xe in the boot of a corsa, then a trailer on the back with an engine crane in it. Braking was a scary, scary experience.
    What to buy next?

    lmao That's true! Had a fair few in it. Getting that 8v was a pain in the backside, and into a supermarket trolley. lmao But the less said about that, the better.

    Re: pic's of how you transport your engine!

    Amatuers... I scooped up Dov's old ZLET from Reading in the Omega estate, thing was we'd put our bags in the boot so rather than remove say... two bags and a pair of shoes, it was deemed possible to fit an entire ZLET and box in via the n/s/r door. It was.

    Well parents but i still stay here . There is a bigger digger here too but that was overkill lmao. Removing the 106 engine was more fun,strap round the crossmember and just lifted it up that swang it round so it cleared the engine.
