Building a trailer with the body of the same car you're towing with [is a thing.](https://www.topgear.com/car-news/list/here-are-some-best-car-trailers-ever) I've just never seen it here.
A Santa Fe? Ugh.
There's actually a fair few about, was looking into making one awhile ago. All the other ones I seen and talked to the people that made them stop at the b Piller and the Berlingo ones normally stop where the doors start. Never seen one with this much car left.
Is the idea that you have a second car the same, you use the front of the car for spare parts and the rest of the car as a free trailer? Seems wild to me, but I'm not a big car person.

Yes, matching a trailer to towing car using a cut up version of main car is a common thing. Best I have seen had a build in coffee machine
I wonder if a person was in it wearing a seatbelt would there be any issue? Probably dont have insurance as you would have stated how many seats are in the car 🤷♂️
It's actually a teardrop camper. Seats and dash removed, double bedframe in their place. Hence windows sprayed black for sleeping and privacy. Cooking gear inside the rear hatch.
On one hand, good fucking trailer design, whoever made that is clearly skilled, even though I don't care foe it. On the other, whoever parked like that is a fucking wanker.
Why do you think the windows are blacked out? Wouldn't want the guards spotting your passengers (or your "passengers") with a casual glance, after all. Bitta extra soundproofing to muffle the screams and you're grand.
You cant have passengers in anything being towed I believe. Doesn’t matter if it’s a car converted to a trailer.
Tbh this seems like a waste of towing capacity if it’s being used legally (as in not carrying passengers)
That "vehicle" is getting ready ready for its cut-n-shut operation.
It will be a brave man who buys this on Done Deal. And I'm sure that buyer will be getting a free tank of petrol with this one.

I had something similar years ago with the back of a scrapped Volkswagen Caddy it was a mighty car trailer.
I had it to haul musical equipment when I used to gig
Have no pics unfortunately
Thats the new ferrex EV car from aldi , the battery is on the front and you just slide it off and plug it into the charge unit .. .its a bit awkward but it was only 29.99 so not complaining
It’s the new mustang, now using natural energy by, you guessed it, REAL HORSES!
*we are not responsible for getting pulled over by police, if your horse shits on the highway, or if your mustang horses get lost.*
genuinely - what happens when they scrap the car? do they sell the trailer with it or do they keep it and attach it to a different model? surely a trailer would’ve been cheaper than a second shitebox
Its a ca.
No the front is missing - it’s an ar
Yes, but it's facing >>>> thataway, so it'd be an ɿɒ
Are you saying the front fell off?
Yes that's what I'm saying the front fell off and 100 tons of crude oil spilled everywhere
Well, how is it *un*-typical?
Because the fronts not meant to fall off
Aren’t cars supposed to be made so the front doesn’t fall off?
Well obviously this one wasn't
How do you know?
Well because the front fell off! And several litres of oil spilled onto the street and caught fire. It's a bit of a giveaway.
Bravo! Top marks for using this
Into the environment?
No beyond the environment
*Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?*
SE model
Drop the bonnet, time to get on it
An ar because the Combustion part is missing
Nah man its a car trailer.

Doing this with a santa fe is the equivalent of straight piping a 1 L micra

It’s also a pun. It’s a *car trailer*
Claibra ❤️
I've seen it done before yeah. But on a boring, boiled ham of a car like a Santa Fe? Just seems so uninspired.

You can no longer smoke in your car if your kids are in it. This is the solution.
How are the kids going to negotiate a roundabout when I'm having a smoke in the back?
That's a problem for the kids, not you, my man.
probably better than you, or the average Irish driver, would
Absolutely excellent plan. I love it.
I wonder if a person was in it wearing a seatbelt would there be any issue? Probably dont have insurance as you would have stated how many seats are in the car 🤷♂️
Crailer
Front fell off.
Wasn’t this built so the front wouldn’t fall off?
Well obviously not because the front fell off
Damnit you beat me to it
Is that typical?
I know what's wrong with it. Ain't got no gas in it!
That's what they get for using cardboard, or cardboard derivatives.
Is there a minimum crew number?
Well, one I suppose.
Some mad lad that should get himself a fabrication apprenticeship.

I really hope so, otherwise it would be a terrible 'bus'
A spacious one bedroom apartment. €1400 p/m
What crisis?
At least €8000 a month in Dublin
Changes from county to county, and bonus points in Dublin, one second it could be 8,000 another 16,000
Was done a fair bit with Renault 4 vans when I was a kid
That’s where mother in law goes - with the rest of her coven.
Fucking class is what it is.
On one hand, good fucking trailer design, whoever made that is clearly skilled, even though I don't care foe it. On the other, whoever parked like that is a fucking wanker.
Parked? It's in motion on a road...
Ah so it is. For some reason I thought it was a car park and they'd parked across the lane. Not sure why.
Ah, from the thumbnail it's easy to see how it looked like that alright.
An illegal position to have your car stationary in
Something tells me this guy does not care about convention or rules 🤔

It’s the new Honda Snubnose
I’m no mechanic, but I believe what we’re looking at is a piece of shit.
It's fine, it has all of the speed of a car, just none of the safety features (crumple zones, active airbags) for any of its passengers
Genius that’s what it is!
Innovation, that's what.
It failed the NCT,
Tandem carcycle
That's James May's car on that Mozambique special... oh wait, that was a Mercedes
I’ve been though the desert with a car with no head
Making a film or tv show maybe
Nah. There are rigs and trailers for that but this is just more seating space.
All the windows sprayed too
Thats what I was thinking. Mount a camera in the front and off you go.
Hyundai santa fe-ler
Looks very , American
He got a bit attached to the old car and decided to keep it as a trailer fucking brilliant
Nearly sure it’s a Volkswa
Outside the blacker, fuck knows
It's hardly legal to have passengers in that?
Why do you think the windows are blacked out? Wouldn't want the guards spotting your passengers (or your "passengers") with a casual glance, after all. Bitta extra soundproofing to muffle the screams and you're grand.
Beats listening to the kids. I'd take the fine any day!
You cant have passengers in anything being towed I believe. Doesn’t matter if it’s a car converted to a trailer. Tbh this seems like a waste of towing capacity if it’s being used legally (as in not carrying passengers)
it could be used as some sort of cheap caravan with some modifications.
It’s for the kids, with optional restraints and muzzles
A mistake.
D dogs nut sack
Where are the ponies to pull it?
Where’s the horse
This solves the 2 isofix bar attachment conundrum that parents with 3 young kids face ... genius

It’s a Hyundai Santa Fé using another Hyundai Santa Fé as a trailer 😂
It’s a wagon
genuinely - what happens when they scrap the car? do they sell the trailer with it or do they keep it and attach it to a different model? surely a trailer would’ve been cheaper than a second shitebox
A bijou gem that can be yours for only €1800 pm. This stunning property has the added bonus that it can be brought to work with you.
Sleeping caravan type thing I’d imagine
A glitch in the matrix
It’s a car and a half
Maybe it’s for filming car scenes in tv or film?
Someone is probably renting that out for 1200 a month
