Reuben, do you have 40 friends to help you lift that hunk of iron onto the trailer? And a two ton hydraulic jack to lift the trailer up to replace the axle? And real good medical insurance for the hernia repair and frying pan injury treatment after your wife sees what you just put in the garage...

I KNOW I've told this story before (as we wait on Larry to get his stuff back from the machine shop)...
I was working in ATL and living in Birmingham, commuting on the weekends, waiting to sell the Bham house, when the wife calls up on a Thursday and says the dishwasher quit. I was working for a builder and so got a heck of a price on one in ATL. I was driving a Fiat 124 Spider. I tied it on the luggage rack and off I went to Bham in the pouring rain, making the most amazing roostertail with the great big "spoiler" on the back.
So, yes, I think you could get it in the miata, but I don't think the miata will survive the trip intact...

I drove it back to NC like that <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I actually fit 5 Montero SR wheels/tires in my Corolla to deliver to Keith in Ohio one time. I got the whole set, and the extra Spare in there, they were roughly 31" tires I think? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Also had a double cast iron sink too was on a site inspection in Kingstown, NY and the guy offered them to me.. I have a picture of that somewhere. That was the day my transmission boiled over pulling this huge mountain through the Poconos coming into Pennsylvania and caught fire. That was a LOT of weight in the back of that truck. The washing machine was one of those Maytag professional ones that doesn't completely drain...

Larry is not back yet, right? Talking about weird stuff on the roof. I remember, before the Montero days, driving my sporty Eclipse with the sunroof open and at the GA400 toll plaza I spoted something through the roof, and for the life of me it was Santa, YES SANTA, A guy had built a sled with Santa, the gifts and a whole bunch of decoration lights on top of his Cherokee. It was Hilarious. People at the plaza started honking their horns and laughing it was quite a spectacle.

I leave a thread unattended for a few days, and WHAMMO!!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Thanks for the props Phil. Great stories all. And Brendan, if you can get it somewhere that I can send a truck after, I'll see if I can get it. A couple guys I know are truckers and they're up there pretty regular.
Got .75mm over pistons ordered from Sealed Power. The machinist wants them in hand before he bores the block. Wants to weigh and measure them first. Should have them by Friday. Maybe. There was no availability on .50mm over pistons and it was going to be June before they'd arrive, so I decided on bigger. I'm sure opinions will vary on that... Pardon the interruption, carry on with the story telling <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
