Go to Butlers down Stanmore Rd.
Just dont tell them you're going to Blenheim cos theyll charge extra.

There is that place (Smiths Hire I think it is called) as you go the back way into Kaiapoi from CHCH - before the old bridge.

Plus I guess you can just drop it off on your way back home.

A mate borrowed one from them just last week. Towing behind a toyota hiace custom, 3L TD which tow great, but it wandered really bad. Didn't matter where it was placed.

and the MR2 is far to small for my brand new, spankingly good, Elmo built trailer.

Yeah mr2s are short and low, but they are actually bloody wide. When we put it on my cousins vehicle trailer behind my grandfathers Caldina GT, the mr2 was noticeably wider than the Caldina :lol:

I have a trailer sorted now cheers 8)
