After delivery of the Lowlight Ghia last week to the harbor, I started slowly to move North… San Jose was my destination, with Kelley Park show coming up, a lot of activities do come along, Let’s inhale deep and start moving…. I try to give some impressions of this trip along…
Endless bridges in Los Angeles and its vicinities…
This is a perfect start of the day!
Sunset in my back view mirror, kind a different!
On the Interstate 5 North, You never drive alone…:)
Every trip I do from North to South or visa versa, there is only more wineries, more grapes, and more tasting down the road… Californian wine is in booming business!
Old pick up trucks just sitting on the drive way…. only in California!
How about my new friend? do You like his little beetle? Cool huh?
Original owner with his bus… over 500.000 miles!!…. and counting!
Always cool to see your car in the back of this huge polished tankertrucks…
