Cool ute...

Cool ute...
This old beautiful Peugeot 404, we found on the side of the road in France this summer. My hunt for sleeping beauties never stops. Wherever We go I keep my eyes open like a hawk to spot these sleepers and catch them with my cameras.

Cool hidden treasures...

Holiday season is always a good time for me... Always finding hidden treasures somewere... This time it was right under my nose, behind the barn on the campsite... Three cars about to be taken over by nature... One of them, this nice Fiat truck...

Cool holiday encounters...

Almost every vacation we run into sleeping beauties... Also this vacation in France, three of them sleeping in an open barn next to the road in a village... Yeah, what can you do but stop and catch them...! Here's a Citroen CX, late eighties...

Cool covers...

Going underground...
Hitting the treasure chambers, that's how it feld last Saturday. Son and me went shoppping for son's new shoes and parked the car in an underground parking underneath an old militairy base in my old hometown...
Entering we were surprised by the amount of classic cars parked there. Most of them obivously collecting dust down there. Some of the owners bought special covers for their treasures, this owner just stole some bedsheet from the cupboard and stitched the together...
I bet the wife is pretty angry when she discovers where her pretty yellow sheets went...

Cool bike show...

Yesterday had a nice day at the annual Bigtwin Bike Show... Nice bikes, airbrush and tattoo activities, Bike build competition, load music, load exhausts, several colors walking around...
Saturday the tax-department held a tax check at the entrance of the parking lot and collected 88.000 euro's in overdue tax money... Lucky for me I laft my tax money at home so I could not pay, but hey there was no check on Sunday anyways...

Cool old beauty...

We ran into this old beauty after having diner on a open air market place in France.

She just stood there with all her beauty. Cool stickers on her fender and her roof top open. Giving us an opportunity to have a glance on her interior, finding out the cool design of her steering wheel...

(Always keep your eyes open, also on your vacation)

Cool old shop...

Walking through a theme village in France, everything was old and they wanted to display life as it was around 1900... They also put a little old garage together... Old cans, old tools, old beautiful car...

(Love the old stuff)

Cool connection...

Yes...! Been on vacation to France with the family again this year... Every stop at a petrol station is a hunt for cool sickle and car magazines... Here's a little harvest for this year...
The Freeway Special 'Choppers & Bobbers' makes me think about the time I got infected with the sickle virus... Must been around 1980/82, at that time Easyrides magazine looked like that as well...

(Man... we're getting old)

Cool Australian art...

46-year-old Australian artist James Corbett, creates these sculptures using salvaged old car parts. Selling the buggers for thousands of dollars... Me says: start welding your old shit together and sell like hell...!
Cool...!!!

Cool fog light...

The first one of the year is already a good one... Here's a finding on the worldwidewebster I found for ya... Used to rest in some Belgian woods in the Ardennes near the Frensh border... Last year they cleared the sites and send the rusty beauties to the scrapyard...
Nice detail on the dashboard buttons, notice the fog light push switch...

Cool green...

Here's one I shot a vew years ago... At the 'King Cruise', between March and October, the second Sunday of the month, loads of US vehicle maniacs come together... From classics upto the new stuff... You know where my eyes go to...

Cool sleeping beauty...

Yes, we're back from our bloody hot holiday in France. France is always a good source for cool stuff...
On our way to some waterfalls we passed this beauty and some friends of hers... Just standing next to the road, waiting for nature to take over...

Cool hidden fources...

Whilst some furniture shopping for our living room, behind some trucks and parts of ships, we ran into these hidden Renault 4's... In total there were 8 of them hanging around, waiting for more decay to happen...

Cool Black and Beautiful...

Yesterday ended up at the garage with the family car... Something wrong with the steering/wheel/drive axle...
"Sir, I'll have to keep the car here. It's not save to drive this car..." Ok, I was just coming by to tell them the car felt wobbely when accellerating and taking the foot of the throttle... It was due to her MOT next week and had appointment already, was just telling them to check that as well...
Why don't you ride around the back and we'll check it right away... Yeah, why not... I'm glad I did will not imagine sitting in the car with family and the wheel desiding her own direction to go...

Maybe whilst the car is in teh garage, maybe I can use my brotherinlaw's new toy... A 1967 V8 Ford Mustang called Black Bess... Well...
It's a petty it's standing on the other side of the world in The Land of Oz... My compliments to my sis and bil for their good taste in fine cars...!

Cool wood findings...

Just imagine, walking through the woods in Belgium and you run into a couple of hundred of these beauties... You just couldn't stop taking pictures of them, could ya?
And just imagine the Belgian government is gonna give the owner of these goodies a fine of 250 Euro's for each of them if he doesn't clear the sites...

The over 70 year old owner cleared the sites last year April...
So sad...
