Maybe the owner of the trailer won't notice when he drops it off after he's through borrowing it.

**special-K** · 01-17-2024, 10:52 PM

I must say, that guy is pretty smart to use the trailer to drag that log down the road to keep it from rolling around all over the place.

Using the tires and wheels as chocks to keep it from sliding sideways is a nice touch.

I thought he cranked them to tight and folded up the trailer .

Bet when he was done he stood back and said “That’s not going anywhere “

Miss the speed shops. We had several cool ones in the greater Seattle area.

I dont remember the year, but possibly early 80's? Several of us went to the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals in Sacramento and we went to Tognottis, man that place was enormous! Put all of our places to shame lol.

I miss all the independent speed and Harley shops. That used to be something to do, stop in just to browse, chat, and maybe even buy something. And when you did buy something, it was from a guy you had gotten to know, knew your vehicle, and knew the direction you were taking it. Then there was always that thing called good advise

72c20customcamper · 01-24-2024, 11:15 AM

I still go to East Coast Speed it’s a local speed shop I believe started in the early 60s .

So weird you mentioned Blue Max. I stumbled on a pic and saved it just the other day. I had forgotten all about Blue Max, I sent it to buddy.

I had friends who put that kind of combination on their cars, though they didn't generally lift them that high.

Sorry. I'm going to have to move this to the joke thread

Jacked up car or lowered springs? How long before those shackles, er pieces of flat plate, will bend. No radials back then. I guess he couldn't afford Hi-Jackers
