Day #5 – a surprise in Santa Rosa

While on the road to Vern Tardel's flathead ranch, we spotted this interesting
looking arrangement of buildings. 

Old Fords always draw our attention.

There's was some interesting stuff lurking inside. 

Like these two, for example. 

Hemi powered pick-up truck. 

Hemi galore. 

This ain't no company premises. It's just a hobby shop. 

Steel '32 pick-up bodies. 

Another dragster. 

Things got even more crazy behind this door. 

This building hosts the world's biggest collection of oil cans. 

Car guy, owner and collector Fred Stoke
gathered more than 10'000 oil cans. 

If there's an oil brand, it most surely is found in Mr. Stoke's collection. 

Never heard about Saab oil. 

Great display material. 

Day #4 – north of SF

While looking for a shopping mall, we stumbled across this junkyard.



Some cars seemed to be quite salvageable. 




Day #4 – the streets of San Francisco

Studebaker coupe.

There's nothing like a milkshake. Maybe two
milkshakes. 

It really doesn't get any better. 

This Mustang fastback provided us with some Bullit vibes. 

Dead end. 

They build funny houses. 

We escaped by water airplane. 

Houses on the water. 

Our favorite means of transportation. 

When we drove down Lombard street, everybody seemed to be
waiting just for us. 

In the evening we did our own sightseeing
tour by car. 

We also checked out this famous bridge. 

These were looking cool. 

Dani found some traces of successful ancestors. 

The heart of the famous cable cars. 

Watch out when opening the driver's door.

Day #4

We walked until our feet were bleeding.

Day #3 – bonus pic

By popular demand... a better pic of the sticker.

Day #3

1960 Chevy station from the Loco Banditos. 

Me and Mark Garza from Stylish Kustoms. 

Dani checking the surf. 


Avila Beach pier. 

Elephant seals living next to Highway 1. 

Highway 1 was closed north of Hearst castle. So we had to drive back
around 40 mls. Arrived in SF around 11 pm. Tourists. 

One of the world's most beautiful roads. Check out our new sticker!
