I just thought I would give a link to some pictures of a car I hauled to Tn. from Ca.  I thought a few of you might be interested in seeing it.

For a minute I thought maybe you got yourself a birthday gift Mike. Must have been a little work to get it on the trailer.

Happy Birthday Mike. Hope it was a good one.

(I was the guy who brought some shirts and Wayne gave them out to the kids helping at the 2006 TDC meet in case you don't remember me)

Thanks for the thought on the birthday - it turned out just fine.  Yes Dean, I do remember you.  In fact I believe, my daughter caught one of those shirts that Wayne threw out to the kids.

No, the Lee is  not a birthday gift.  My wife would kill me if I actually brought that home.  I've already got one project and I definetly do not want another one, let alone a Lee with all the attention that I received just in hauling this one.

The rear axle broke on me just outside of Barstow, CA - I had rented a tow dolly, as the axle looked and turned fine. But by Barstow, the car was talking differently.  I then traded up to a trailer and got back on the road.  And yes it was a bear to put on the tow dolly, let alone take back off and then reload to a full trailer.  In Tn. I used another truck to pull it off the trailer.

I'm not sure what the present owners plan's are for it.  It was used in the 2005 movie as a sling-shot car in one of the jumps. We were told that it was one of several used in the "freeway launch" scene.  When reveiwing the movie the other night, I think it was the one used for the "shoot the moon" scene over Cooter's rollback tow truck.
