My friends Eric and Brian in Spokane are always cool to visit… I had to pick up some “left overs” from last visit in October, so why not hang out for a while!
Eric just had this other “toy” picked up… a little tractor with a “pancake” type three engine… so weird!
Yours truly would have tried it out but one carb was giving a problem currently…
Looking at the drive train…. crazy stuff!
After all the fun, it was time for some serious food… this place was cool!
Being a bikers pub with inside, yes inside!, parking for bikes this was a cool set up… VW bus do serve drinks in the weekends…
In the corner was sitting this cab of a 1954 truck… they converted in a BBQ! Left and right front hood each had a grill and the cabin was a real smoke house!
Inside was a cozy little bar,
with a splitty ft panel on the ceiling!
Well time to leave in the morning after spending the night in Ritsville only 60 miles south of Spokane…… hey look what I do have on my trailer now?
1957 Porsche 356 A coupe (T1 body) very extreme solid, right side Ft fender and left rear have been clipped light years ago, but nothing bad… still original floors in decent condition…… and yes, I do have doors, glass, seats, ft hood and a bunch of other parts for it….:)
Driving west, direction of Portland Oregon… another 600 mile trek… spotted this vanagon (T25 or T3 in europe) down the road… after Tri Cities (Richland, Pasco and Kennewick) the whole drive is almost on the side of this crazy big Columbia river… another day of driving with beautiful views…
Beautiful mountain top, driving west on I 84 just past Hwy 97…
Endless roads with more full size trucks…
Driving through being on a schedule this was the best of my “skyline” views of Portland, sorry I could not get it completely, but it looks like a great city!
Driving more West we enter what is called, the Oregon Coast, a very beautiful area, with sleepy towns… This is my destination for today… Sheridan Oregon, who lives in Sheridan?
Stay tuned and find out tomorrow! I will pay a visit to one of the largest names in our hobby of aircooled VW history !
