WHEN THE TRAILER CAN NOT AFFORD

WHEN THE TRAILER CAN NOT AFFORDCar trailer, about which speech will go, was produced by D. Baker. In General, still quite a young man — he is 25 years old. In their family, loving actively to spend the summer vacation there is an old car VAZ-2101 and the boat “Kazanka” with the motor. However, to deliver the boat to the water was not on anything. So I conceived the father and son Pekareva to build a versatile trailer to the car so he could drive the boat and some cargo in the back easily removable.
