I want to build a small trailer to pull behind the TT. Anyone have any experience in building one?

haha wow, you have a Caractere too...
yes, I do want my car to grow up exactly like yours. From your sig, all I can see is that you've de-amber your headlights and give your car a good stance... it's amazing how much those two things can do to a car.

I used the 12" wheel 40x48" Harborfreight trailer for my setup. Haven't hauled wheels with it
yet, but I did use it to take my motorcycle to take my test and have used it to take construction debris to the dump.
Watch out on the trailer hitch though. They won't fit with a Milltek exhaust, I could not get it to fit with a Borla without serious modifications, though McPaudiTT did get his to fit with the Borla, YMMV. No clue how things will work out with the APR catback you have. They are designed to fit under a stock exhaust.

I got a kit from Harbor Freight a couple weeks back, worked great for the track, but not
so great when my engine croaked ; )
My post on it is below.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1773944.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1773944.phtml</a</li></ul>

Oh, and for some reason I can't find this one on the website, but they had it in the store...
It was around $240 IIRC. The net was extra, and I put a tarp under that net as well to keep everything dry (and it worked, as it did rain on my way to the track).

That's close. I may just use the metal frame and skip the box. I've seen a really slick
setup that a guy pulled behind his Boxter. Had a stand-up rack for the tires and an aluminum locker box for his tools. He had a neat hitch that connected on either side of the license plate where the rubber bump stops come off.

Tired of stuffing everything in the hatch? I've been contemplating one as well
only thing is - no place to keep it at home. I've seen several nice setup at NASA events,similar to what you described below. Most used the small harbor freight setup - and did "custom" stuff on top.
