yesterday we drove with 4 trailers to the port to deliver the “catch of the weekend” to the shipper…

was a real cool view on the freeway!

Still in California, I had an appointment at a serious backyard last weekend…

Thanks to my friends Ray and Tom I could buy several project buses and cut up some other VW’s.

The result you see here below! The first load ready to go to the port!

There was all kind of crazy stuff all over the yard…

When I say really crazy stuff I mean really crazy stuff!

So we part out all kind of things we thought we could use…

and went through all piles of parts…

check out what was laying around!

Sunday morning we went back but first needed a healthy breakfast…

second load was ready!

Watch out for the tarantula’s!!! (yes this was a real one!!)

With a little help from my friends is a song from the beetles I sing many times, including last weekend!! These are the guys that made it possible for me to get this, and they helped full-time to cut, load, change tyres and stuff!

Ray, Tom and Pete, You’re the guys! Thank you so much for this ubercool weekend!!

and I’m on my way for more now! …:) but first we have to drive these to the shippers!
