What? Europeans have never heard about enclosed transport before?

I mean in the US, if some bloke buys $30,000 junker '69 Camaro, he would have it sent by enclosed trailer for $1000 - looks like the "1st world europeans" are pretty backwards.

Most cars down here are transported on similar trailers. More efficient this way, if you're transporting many cars. It's different if there's only one.

Having invemted the ICE obviously.

All BMWs are delievered around the UK open, all Porsches, closed and that's between official dealer networks.

I once had a customer who wanted a car on a dealer swap and just drove it 60 miles without PDI on trade plates cause he wanted it so much.

The point being those were not "dealer" deliveries but private cars :)

Again - how primative and backwards... the "civilised" europeans don't even have enclosed trailers ... but neither do their women shave... :P

Yes they need to choose their best driver for this job :shock:

about the enclosed trailer, we don't have to hide our European cars :prr:

Ho ho ho.

I think size wise these open and linked trailers are more user friendly on small and twisty european roads with low bridges and narrow passes.

Yeah, only Americans have to hide the shit cars they make and drive. :P I guess the transporter did a cost-benefit analysis, balancing the much higher cost of an enclosed trailer with the (rather minimal) benefits of keeping the car enclosed. They figured it wasn't worth it. They're probably right.

^well, I remember seeing a ferrari 360 that had been on the highway on an open trailer in texas when a sandstorm hit, it was almost perfectly stripped of paint

Other than the bullcrap about "hiding American cars" being just that bullcrap - as there are many thousands of cars of the calibre represented in the opening post carried in enclosed trailors in the US..

BTW the transporter is not "right" - just cheap.

I am pretty sure every one of you cocksuckers would have a lot to say if your Enzo came home driving on an open transporter with paint chips and dinged windshoelds from road debirs.

That was the point - these are not "dealer delivery Golfs and Jettas" being transported... but no doubt the magazine/TV station/test organizer was too fucking cheap to spring for a decent enclosed trailer.
