Well it’s Wednesday here and I’ve been very slack in posting an update on the Goodguys show, I guess that’s because we got into LA on Sunday and have been just cruising since – having a few beers, sitting by the pool, doing the shopping before heading back and generally lazing around. There were plenty of good looking cars at the west coast nationals even though we were there for the Friday, with the main event on Saturday, and lots of vendors trying to sell stuff as well. The swapmeet was a bit of an average affair with not a lot available and what there was seemed to be priced high – although again this may have been due to us having a look before the main day.
Once in LA we’ve been to the Peterson Museum which is well worth a visit as they have plenty of historic race cars, hot rods and every day drivers along with interactive things for the kids to do (if you have some), a great selection of caravans and the first motorhomes were also interesting along with the batmobile, car from grease, herbie and other movie ‘stars’ as well.

After the museum we took a drive through Hollywood along Rodeo Drive and Sunset Strip – had a few people on the street say ‘Oh my god’ and take a photo of us cruising past. Little did they know it was no one famous, just some kiwis having a look around!!
Tomorrow we’ve managed to score a private tour through Jay Leno’s collection of cars and bikes so quite looking forward to that. Not sure what the photo restrictions will be but if we can take some then they will be posted here for all to see.
Heading home on the weekend so that will probably be all our news – thanks for reading and taking an interest.

Rob.
