ITR hospital new: 21st, 22nd and 23rd ITR on the operation desk
I was in switzerland yesterday to pick my 23rd ITR. White, 95000km. Only damage is front windshield, right fender, rear bumper and at the right suspension is something bent. I will recover that one and I want to use it for me as an daily driver.
Total km I spooled; 0200 am till 0730 pm: 1250km
I lost 2 hours on the highway cause of traffic jam and made some pics. 30km before I was home
Number 22 I picked up from Belgium. It was a totaled one, I parted out the car. Most of the parts sold already.
Total km I spooled; 0100 am till 0930 pm: 1900km
Number 21 is from Luxembourg. A totaled one too. Recovering was not worth, the frame was very bent. Most parts sold too.
total km I spooled 0100 am till 0800 pm: 1800km
presenting my hauling vehicle:
hauling vehicle: 75hp to the fly, 4625 lbs curb weight, 2.5 litre n/a Diesel power Ford Transit with air condition, I think that sucker needs 8.5 hp, so I usualy don't use it
Trailer: 880 lbs curb weight; maximal load capazity 3530 lbs.
Average Top Speed with trailer: 100 kmh = 62mph. Not too bad and speed limit in Europe with trailer is 50 mph, but I don't care. Down hill the Ford makes realy fast 88 mph with the trailer and ITR on it!
In fact it does not matter if I drive with trailer, w/o trailer or with trailer and a car on it, the Ford is in all cases a slow car
...but he does the job very good!

Thats crazy man... I wish I had just one R... one day
Do you fix and sell them to try and keep more of them on the road, instead of being crushed? If so, kudos to you!

Unfortunatly a couple more ITR's for the road course in the clouds.
And a couple more hours and km's on the R doctors resume.
Well done sir, keep up the great work.

Been a while Christian since you picked up some R's.
You drove a while to get them, that's crazy.

LOL
I forget how easy I have it, I tow at 75 MPH with the cruise control set, AC blasting... Actually a lot of people have more power in their daily drivers than their track cars!
Ninja-with-an-80-HP-diesel-motor Edit: On the other hand, I have 7 hour tow for a relatively "close" track, and I did a couple of 15 hour tows last year! If I ever make it to Laguna Seca it'll be 3-4 times that distance too

Wow - do you keep all of them, part them out and/or re-sell them? Finding parking for 23 cars must be a chore. You are like the Jay Leno of Austria!
