I happen to walk by this random car and noticed the large drum brake
setup that it had. Or is it really made to look like it has old school
brakes on it? I think it's that latter.

I've seen this guy selling these at this show before and they all look
pretty good. He buys those combination screwdrivers that have two flat
ends and two Philips ends with the plastic handles at the hardware
store. He then toss's the handle but keeps the rest and hand makes all
the handles along with the copper trim piece. Everyone is unique and the
wood has a clear coat.

This was taken when I first arrived that morning. What you see here is
someone getting ready to be towed because they were parked in a two hour
parking zone over night. A vendors truck was scheduled to park in this
area so here comes the tow truck to take care of the problem.
The flatbed wasn't able to get directly behind the car so he's
pulling it at an angle. I've never seen this scenario before so I stayed
and watched for a few minutes. Once the car was pulled close to the
ramp, the truck operator stops winching and rehooks the cable towards
the middle of the ramp. Once this is done the cable is pulling to the
right side of the car forcing it to line up with the ramp.

Once the car was lined up with the ramp, the operator
unhooked the cable from the side and winched it up like normal. But the
one thing that was different here was the lack of straps holding the car
in place while he drove down the street. Now I've seen many cars get
hauled away but not with the front tires one or two inches from the edge
and not being strapped down. I saw the driver go up this street to a
near by parking lot so I followed along.

What happened next was pretty cool because the truck
driver lined himself up with an empty parking spot and slowly lowered
the car down. Once it was about where he wanted it, he moved the bed
back-and-forth till the front tires came off the ramp which placed the
car into the parking space perfectly. Once that was done the truck
driver drove away and all this only took about five minutes. I can only
imagine the owner of the car coming back to pick it up only to find the
spot empty and possibly driving right by it's new location in the
process. I'll bet they look at the signs a little closer the next time.

This restaurant was right around the corner from where we
were parked and we decided to have lunch their. If you ever get the
chance to eat here you won't be disappointed because the food was great.

We had a good time, good weather, lots of cars showed up,
had some great food and they had a huge raffle with some awesome prizes.
For the people that regularly check out my site you'll notice something
different with the shot below. If you don't know or are new here, our
hoods are closed. I just thought I'd do something a little different
here that's all.
If you look close you can see the car that was towed in
the background :-]
