Sunday, January 8, 2023 -- Long Beach Car Swap Meet -- Part 1

One of the seller's "van"

Rained a couple of days prior.

Interesting clouds still around...

Don't recall seeing this type of "roof rack" over the rear window area of a bug.  Pretty useful if you need to carry a lot of stuff.

My guess is that it's never actually used on this car...

Nice MGB in the "inner" lot where some of the cars for sale are parked.

Anyone arriving to the swap meet can park in this close parking lot if you're driving something that's build in the 1970 or earlier.

Monday, January 2, 2023 -- Rose Parade - Part 12

Wednesday, December 28, 2022 -- Downtown LA - The Last Bookstore and Grand Central Market

Went with SKMK and her boyfriend.

Bought five used books at The Last Bookstore, three related to bicycling and two related to cars.

Grand Central Market.

Very busy.

Seems like mostly tourists.

Got something from this place (Wexler's Deli).

 

Monday, December 26, 2022 -- Manhattan Beach Pier - ride with SKMK

During the ride, the front derailleur shift cable broke (corrosion).

Don't use the big ring on the front crank too often so doesn't effect the riding much.

Ordered a replacement cable.

Sunday, November 6, 2022 -- French & Italian Car Show @ Woodley Park (Van Nuys) - Part 49

Very attractive alloy wheels on this 124 spider.

 

Nice space to sit back with a hot drink & open a book...
