Take a look at http://www.sportsrig.com. I have one of their trailers that I
pull behind a Honda del Sol. That's the little tiny Honda 2 person sportscar
model that was discontinued in 1997. 

The trailer is a little expensive at around $1k but is very light and
excellently suspended on motorcycle shocks and springs. I've had mine about a
year, and it works very, very well. I don't even know it's there unless I look
in the rear view mirror. See my photo website for pictures at:

It's the fifth choice down at the bottom of the menu page. The sportsrig is
unique in that it folds up and stands on it's end in the garage so it takes very
little space when not assembled and in use. The newer model even has little
metal wheels so you can fold it up, stand it on end and then roll it into a
tight space. I picked mine up at the source in San Luis Obispo and saved any
shipping costs. I met all the folk there and they're a nice bunch of people
