I don't have photo of the trailer behind the Jetta, but I have a shot of it with one bike on it behind the Lincoln. here it is;


To those that suggested reversing one bike, that would only work if two details can be worked out.
1 The trailer has a complete body, so that none of the bikes expensive plastics get damaged by air flow in the wrong direction.
2 Both bikes are loaded by rolling them up front wheel first, with the trailer hitched to the car.
It will also make tapering the width of the trailer that much harder.

I've had a couple of issues with the latest version of AutoCAD running on this computer but, now I'm back to working the trailer design.
