I didn't have a camera at the time but I remember watching a Cadillac DeVille pulling out of a Goodwill store with a freezer tied to the hood, the driver had the door open and was looking underneath the freezer to see where he was going. I didn't follow to see the end result, I can only imagine.............

This wasn't on the roof...

On I-20 here in Shreveport...saw a van towing a trailer....refrigerator in the middle of the trailer....two guys standing next to the refrigerator "holding" it on the trailer! Not a strap to be seen on the trailer.

You can't make this kind of stuff up!

Sean,

That pic is insane! Bad enough that he's under a vehicle like that, but how in the world did he raise it that high at that angle and lodge those "supports" under it?!

See Mark,
A 109 tub on an FJ would be a piece of cake. Besides are you going to let a mini show up an FJ? :)

That reminds me of my tour guide in Egypt a couple years ago... Always had a comment about goats, from "Stupid Goats" to "Look, it's the French archeologists"

The first pic with the turkey is in my driveway several years ago. I heard it gobbling and went out and there it was. The second one is in the early 80's. While the load was large it is only 2x4x8 styrofoam inslulation I was taking to a job site in Big Sur.

thanks it did come out great, I did a restore on that rig, everything removed and titied up, new frame......... I ended up selling it, couldn't bring myself to drive it any where where it would get any exposure to dirt, salt, rain. Drove me nuts so I sold it and bought two others, now drive one everyday, only vehicle I regularly drive.

My friend made this little Land Rover for his son, then used the MINI to haul it to British Car Day.
