Cars and Coffee: Irvine

Shelby GT500KR

Every Saturday morning in Irvine, California, at the parking lot next to the Mazda building is an informal car show called Cars and Coffee. It starts early, with the parking lot filling up by 6 am. At around 8 am cars and people are headed out/leaving to start their day. If you are car enthusiast, its something you have to see one day. There are a huge variety of cars from the ordinary, to the extraordinary. When its over, you still have a whole day in front of you. If you are in LA, and have some time early, head over.

Loading a Race Car Trailer in A Container

Australian Spec Race Car Trailer

This Aussie Spec race car trailer was specifically constructed for a customer of ours so that it would fit into a 40 foot shipping container. Its a great trailer that will be awesome for the customer to carry his cars around in Australia.

Add caption

Fold down couches on each side. Built in cabinets, work bench, and tool box

Extra access door on the side makes getting into and out of cars easier once loaded.

Electric Winch Hidden in the floor

It even has a shower in the front section

See more pictures here:

A container is 92 inches wide at the door. That 92 is a hard number, so if something is 92 inches wide, it does not fit. It has to be under that number. Once inside a container opens up a little bit, but the door is our hard limit.

Getting ready to load. Lining it up

This trailer into the container is not just going to be wasted empty space. Inside the trailer - a Plymouth Duster.

Its a tight fit, but careful loading and a lot of eyes gets it in.

Fits like a glove

Nearly clear of the door

Once inside the wheels are chocked. It is strapped down at the rear and front. Braced at the front
