This week not a FPU as 1st of May is Bank holiday almost in entire Europe.
So I was hardly home and jumped in my 23 window Deluxe and set of to Germany for the weekend…
The German Autobahn from behind a splitty steering wheel…
and some times You need to poor some gas in my old partner in crime…
Getting busy before the long weekend….
First small detour leads me over very cool “Landstrasse” to my friend Christian Grundmann who has (as usual) something new going on.
Entering the historic town of Hessisch Oldendorf. To all overseas VW nuts, this is how it looks without VW’s…LOL…:)
This picture is the epicenter of all christian Grundmann’s new things…. Mr Friedrich Rometsch. The guy that gave the world one of the most beautiful affordable coachbuild cars…
and this is the new museum Christian and Traugot Grundmann build to honor the brand of Rometsch….
cool huh… not finished yet as the wall should be decorated anytime soon…
De rest of their museum is cool as always for a quick tour…. thanks to Ulrich for guiding me!
and back behind the wheel to next destination…
to arrive an hour later at the hotel… our Samba seems to be in good company….
Stay tuned, more tomorrow, where not home yet!

All good things do come to an end, also this trip… After leaving Darrell’s shop I headed South to the bay area again, as i was flying out of San Francisco this time…
But first have to deliver my trailer load to our shippers…
Leaving Sheridan took me over a lot of smaller Highways back to I-5
The stretch over I-5 in South Oregon is very nice and very green too!
Always nice to see Street Rods pass You by…
Welcome in Bear country!
Delivered the Porsche to the shippers, and organised all my things to do it was time to put the White Whale (my Ford Excursion) in bath…
… and in Pyamas to go to sleep… after 5000iles this trip it can sleep till my next visit, probably in August.
and so the Blue KLM plane awaits me in San Francisco for my flight back home…
another succesful trip… with some good finds, but especially a lot of miles and hard-working, but this is considered the “nice part of my job”….
