maybe go one way on the train and drive back, you can buy good protection for your car now like car bra and vinyl wrap ,i remember reading an article about a guy called chubby driving his show quality VH commodore from east to west and back again using vinyl wrap,also putting it on an open trailer would be worse than driving it .we want to come over for the monaro nats in october but my biggest worry is some lowlife stealing it when we stop over night ,stone chips can be fixed but finding your car stripped and burnt would be heartbreaking. trips like that are supposed to be fun not stressful and if you stopover in SA come and say hi we have a spare room and a spot in the garage for your torrie next to mine
