Monday after I delivered the buses to the port I hit the road east… straight to death dry Nevada

I made a short stop over at my friends Gary’s place in Sonoma California…

The trusty white whale performed flawless as always…

Gary was hit hard by the fires in Sonoma, Napa and santa Rosa area… lost a couple of cabins in the mountains and a load of VW parts… he saved these as a souvenir, this “used to be” a “pile” of 36 Hp cilinderheads, melted to the ground…

One of Gary’s customers had his vanagon in for service, I liked his license plate a lot…

… For You To Go 75 (Mph) … not bad on a  slow VW bus!

From Gary I drove straight (and mainly in dark) to Reno Nevada… to see the skyline of Reno in morning light

Where I was think I’m going?

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…

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!!
