Ahh. A _short_ trip. I recently pulled my MGA from Florida to New Meixco
on a trailer behind Ryder's biggest truck. The engine, transmission, and
lots of other things were inside the truck. Call UHaul and Ryder and tell
them what you want to do. If you want to put the car inside the truck,
make sure it can't move and smash into anything and make sure nothing else
inside can move and smash into the car. If you decide to trailer it like
I did, make sure nothing is loose that can whack the car. Going across
Texas, the wind lifted the front of the tonneau and the lift-the-dot posts
beat the shit out of small area of the scuttle.
Good news for me! Everything is just about back together and tonight the
MGA may start! The end is in sight!
