Is this the machine that will produce the worms for early bay window bus steering boxes?
Let’s hope so, but anyway, now You know I’m serious on my way to get that old dream done to make a decent rebuild kit for early bay window steering boxes, and if we succeed in that we will follow soon with splitwindow too!
Cool machine, saw never anything like this before! This was the main reason for this trip after all… thanks to my new friend Jose to show me around and talk about this project!
and here some more pictures of the Spanish “interior”… I drove cross Spain, from North West to South East…. very cool stretches of road…. perfect to downwind from daily stress… Spain reminds a lot as the West Coast in USA on many places…
Today I will arrive hopefully on my end destination…. BBT’s Hot Rod shop in El Campello, near Allicante…. I will unload the bus from the trailer, and load a new car to travel home… what will it be? ???? ….stay tuned…:)

I left hotel in Perigeux early, cool hotel, elderly couple, I was the only guest!! Felt like a king! Thanks for the breakfast!! Full buffet only for memyself and I!
Countryside today… all small roads till next destination…
Inside…. the French Slammer House… K-Rot and his team from Vintage Autohaus doing what they do best! and “Thze Audi”? Well we just found out the dealer installed rear tyres in wrong rotation, so we set that right!
Thanks for helping loading and unloading K-Rot, and thanks for being my friend… it’s always nice to have friends just about everywhere…:)
Vintage Autohaus is pretty in the middle of nowhere, so onto the next stop…. very very small roads…. we travel about everywhere to reach our customers, may this be the picture to proof that! ….:)
also nice old streets with old tree’s…. traveling is so much fun…
Last stop for today… Speed Shop in Toulouse… they been moved to this building last Year, Nicolas and his team are doing well! very very cool!
Another 350km to the border of Spain, let’s hope I still can make it before dark?
Tomorrow a factory visit, so stay tuned!

Infrastructure in France belongs to the top of the world, although it always surprise me when You leave the toll road sections how dirty and un-maintained freeway’s and roads are some times , in a country with such large unemployment… crazy idea… put people to work maybe?
First stop was undoubtedly at our friends PP & Sylvie from Vintage Import fame, it was 5 years or so since I was here…. so cool shop…
Big Boss PP (BBPP that is) gave me a cool sunday afternoon cruize in his recently acquired 15window type 4 powered bus. While Sylvie prepared our “gateau de pommes”…. yammie!
Beautiful day….. beautiful ride!
France is full of old buildings, small old towns and fun things to watch…
and back to the shop… sorry no picture from the “gateau de pommes”…(this means apple pie!) but it tasted really yammie good! Vintage Import is mainly a car dealer with a nice workshop and especially a real cool expression! some pictures for You… pay them a visit… Limoges is a real cool area , around 375 km south of Paris
Sylvie & PP thanks for everything… I enjoyed a real wonderful afternoon!
and now up to the next stop… not too far, but we have to find a place to sleep….
To be continued…stay tuned….:)
