My alley is 8’ 7” wide and bordered by my brick house and a steel fence. The car trailer is 8’ 8” wide. I need to get the Lotus to it’s parking spot at the back of my alley. The Lotus is on four flat tires and one of them is slightly detached from the body so rolling is very difficult. Ideas? Aerial view of my alley is here:

Help!

Two of these, a friend, and some beers afterward.

Um, are we not doing the ‘phrasing” thing anymore, because I think we should revisit that.

Can’t find a picture of it, but that thing that Top Gear used to get the Countach into the museum.

Pedal down and pray that fence is weaker than your trailer

Know anyone with furniture dollies?

Buy 4 wheels with the lug pattern with tires that can make it 50 meters, use them to push it in, then keep them if you feel like it or but them right back on craiglist/kijiji/whatever you have up there.

You might as well buy some wheeled car dollies and push it back there, or re-attach the wheel, pump up the bad tires and roll it.

These and a prayer that the cops won’t think it was you.

actually, yeah, which as light as the Europa is, wooden furniture dollies are probably adequate... you can rent them from UHaul...

Do you have a friend with those wheel dolly thingies? I think that would work fine.

Looks smoothish. Put the corner with a detached wheel on the jack and roll it back that way? Put the bunk corner on a skateboard? Get some friends to help just pick it up and carry it? Just lift the bunk corner and push it? I’m not joking about that either. Six or seven of us lifted a TR6 onto a trailer after it lost a wheel at autoX once, and that weighs alot more.

see if any of those tires will hold air even for a few minutes, and bring a full compressor with you.

What do you mean by somewhat detached?

Broken hub or bunk bearing.

maybe the alley is paved and they can just push hard

Find someone with dollies (or a smaller trailer) and befriend them.

It weighs 1350lbs. How hard would it be to have a couple of people pick up the LF corner while everyone else pushes?

Maybe remove the fenders on the trailer? that should give you 2 inches.

That is if they are not welded on which most are.
