EDIT:
I had intended to keep this quiet but Indykid correctly guessed what the project was about at post 12, so I may as well go into detail with it...

So, the plan is to strip a Mk1 MX-5 into bits, sell the shit I don't need and cut what's left in half to make a trailer. Something like this...

"BUT WAI?!" I hear you scream.
Simple.
Space. Or the lack thereof. Last time I went to a show (JAE 2011) I had the car chock full of stuff I needed, half of it being piled up on the passenger seat. This is not a good thing given that I want to take Mrs Fish there this year and go on a camping holiday with her sometime this year too.
Crazy? Possibly. A waste of an MX-5? I don't think so, really. It's a little rusty and was going to be stripped anyway. I'm just making use of the chassis/bodywork that would probably have been cubed.
I have a blog set up that will be following progress: Project Taildragger
