Hi All,

As many of you predicted, it was just a matter of time before I bought a trailer. It is an open trailer so I can still fully graduate to an enclosed one some day! I bought this very nice and well maintained Featherlite from a fellow PCAer in my region. He customized it with a tire rack, spare tire carrier, and a set of diamond plate ramps that dovetail with the Featherlite ramps. Everything he put on the trailer is also lockable which is a nice feature.

I installed a Valley Odyssey brake modulator unit in the Cayenne (thanks to ltc ) which seemed to work very well with the trailer. I set the unit as directed and the manual trailer brake works nicely.

I will be mainly towing my 986 which weighs 2750 stock. It will lose a few hundred pounds this winter! Driving today with the car on the trailer revealed no issues with both the trailer and my Cayenne. I will be going to my last DE of the season next weekend at NHMS which will be the trailer's real inaugural tow. It’s only about 90 miles from here so I figure that will be a good first experience for me.

Did I mention how excited I am? I’ve wanted this for so long. I am lucky that I have a wife that understands my obsessions. As she puts it, I’m lucky that I have a hobby that I’m so passionate about.

BTW,….I love the big Porsche crest that the previous owner put on the stone guard!!!!!

And now for some gratuitous pics!!!!!!!!

 

Congratulations Dave. You're moving up in the world of driving events

 

Nice setup! Congrats on the purchase!

 

Awesome trailer! Congrats!

 

Thanks guys. I can't wait to take it to the track next weekend.

 

very cool.

 

Dave, I have to say I'm a little disappointed there's no Hello Kitty anywhere. I think Jox might have a breakdown...

 

I'm in the process of trying to find someone who can print my Coochas logo. So there will in fact be HK on the trailer and the Boxster (the Pawxter).

 

Great setup man. Congrats...

 

+1 hope you get to used it lot before the winter hits
