I’ve seen tiny teardrop trailers being towed behind motorcycles. I imagine they’d do well behind our toys also. I think the company is Little Guy trailers and they’re based out of San Diego, CA. It looks like they will tow behind a smart car.

I’m hoping to have a tiny boat trailer with a small Classic Dinghy from West marine. Its very light weight and I’d only be towing it to the local boat launches with The Penny Marie. She’s powered by VW but I think she’ll be okay. I won’t be driving any faster than about 40 mph on flat roads…I think she’d turn even more heads than she does now.

A 357 Magnum will also leave a nice reinforced melted hole…But for this application I’d take the advice from the smarter members of our club…I’m just here for the comic relief! That’s what Village Idiots do best!
And I’m proud to be yours…
“Good luck with the Project!”

Also, be sure to check those vaccume tips. If the rubber covers are cracked even slightly she won’t idle well. There is a small disk that sits just under the bowl, in the front of the carb. I’ve had it pop out a few times and kills the engine immediately.

My hands down favorite name in the club is “Money Penny” I’m a huge bond fan and I think it’s Brilliant! Just thinking of your car…Perhaps “Emily” would be nice or if you’re looking for something a little more “Sinister” then “Emora or Esmeralda” might work…
I named my little “Snot Rocket”…”Penny Marie” after my Mother, when she passed…[Read more]

Dear Danny
I’ve been insured through State Farm for many years…Even when I drove a 1929 Mercedes (Gazelle) kit car. I’ve never had any claims…”Knock on wood”. I’m located in Southern California…Can’t help you on the VIN…I’ll leave that to the real smart guys here…Hope this helps…

secretagentcat replied to the topic Starting Problem in the forum General Discussion 7 years, 7 months ago
When I first bought my car, I had a problem with starting as well. My mechanic told me that with the battery up front, and the starter in the rear (a long way for the juice to travel), I needed a starter relay to give more power to turn things over. I had him install one close to the starter and never had a problem again…

That’s some fine work if I do say so! Mighty fine indeed!!! My wind wing hinges are also from Classic Roadsters Ltd. and I like yours better!!! The previous owner replaced nuts and bolts with whatever was around the garage and the plexiglass is amber…I’ll be replacing mine before long…

That’s exactly the car I was going to buy before I bought The Penny Marie…The Bugatti was at a classic car dealership and it wouldn’t start. I told the owner to get it running and I’d be back to test drive and buy. The next week when I returned she was gone. someone came in on the weekend and she started right up. I later found it was a relay…[Read more]
