Great looking roadster pickup. I love the 28-9 models.

Nice team.

Seems most Barners prefer the roadster
Maybe this changes once you chop off the roof of the new one

ok im just green with envy...

Serious: Aint there to much load on the hook as you put the
roadster very much foreward onto the trailer?

I didn't have a jack with a scale with me, just centered the car on the trailer, load felt about right. I probably could have backed on but I wasn't too concerned with the tongue weight. I have had a small backhoe tractor on there with much more forward weight.

I agree with Christoph. Chop the top on the tow vehicle to match!

I kind of view it as looking at what most people got by with years ago. Makes everyone look really spoiled in modern times.
