The last trip, drove from Los Angeles to Arizona and from there back to the bay area for flying home…
The reason of this last road trip was to see my friend Chris from US Autobarn fame… (remember the BIG junkyard? That was Chris’) Chris is ill and only God knows how long he will be longer with us… a last visit was so appropriate and I left LA on Wednesday afternoon right before Thanks giving, Probably I don’t have to tell You traffic was a mess, a big mess, It took me 5 hrs to Barstow something i can do normally in 1 hr 45 mins…. sjeez!
I like to drive in the desert and sunrise in the desert is very special, always! I enjoyed a real nice one on Hwy 40 going east… this is like the old route 66…
Hwy 40 is really cool to drive… lot of “desert” scenery…:)
Getting to Needles is driving through a small town right on the Historic Route 66
Arrived at Chris place… super cool (LARGE!) garage with his own personal man cave!
Meltebeke is besides a name of a town in West of Belgian country also the name of a VW Dealer ship…. I didn’t know that…:)
Here’s the man… Chris with his wife and yours truly… it was so good to see him!
The way back was very cool too, as it was full daylight now… so here some impressions…
So the last thing to do for me when I was back in the bay area was loading up my trailer… full size trailer for a half a bus!…:)
So now I’m about ready to leave to the shipper, drop my car and trailer and “Uber” myself to the airport… flying home…. Home sweet home!!
You do not cut up a 55 oval window every day anymore, especially not a ragtop, so if You You do it better in style… like a real rancher….
this roof is coming home baby!
don’t worry the car was not savable, and would be crushed if we didn’t cut it! so we bought it and just chopped it up!
Hope your Thanksgiving turkey is all digested by now and You all had a great day with the family yesterday… Thanksgiving is a big thing in the USA!
No american travel adventures from Bob today, but our weekly Friday Product Update, with again some very interesting parts news!
We had the economy version of this fuel sender longer time in our program under our BBT ref 0493-7 but most customers wanted a better quality as the cheap one was not as good as it looked… problem is inside, a very thin wire that holds the float needs almost nothing to break… that problem is finished now with the top quality, easily comparable with OEM! BBT cares about quality parts as nobody else!
In stock now and ready for delivery!
