Got a huge show tomorrow about 100 miles from here, might go to see it but I don't intend to enter the Ventura and hang around all day, especially when I have to work Monday. They usually get a fantastic turnout, 800+ vehicles from what I have seen before, weather forecast looks good too, so that will help with the numbers.
Sounds like a good time and with that many cars it's worth the 100 mile trip.

Sitting on deck having a crown and ginger and this memory hit me. My lot sits on a hard pan ridge, lots of wheel barrel sized stones. Many moons ago I went on a rock digging rampage. Have a VW bush buggy. I was using it to roll the rocks out of the hole onto a stone boat. One rock was a little too big for the Vdub. Had her stood right up on end then the diff let go she crashed to earth and the rock was still in the hole. Went to auto wrecker $100 for transaxle or $75 for whole car. So went and bought 40’ chain. Had a home built bumper on the 69 ford 1/2 ton I drove. They brought the VW out to the parking lot. I pulled the 69 in front of the VW and backed into it 3 or 4 times flattening it out. Then pounded holes through the trunk and wrapped the chain around the VWs front axle and the bumper of the 69. Then took the front wheels off and pulled it home, little hard steering but made the 35 mile trip no prob. The guy at the auto wrecker was just shaking his head.

Sounds like your idea worked. -
