Legendary Weekend - Friday

I'm blessed to have so much fun most weekends!

On Thursday I got an email from Maria (from Pachuca Cosmetics) asking if I could gather a few cars together to cruise out to the "La Mission" movie premiere in downtown Santa Cruz on Friday. I wish I was asked earlier so I could've brought more cars.. oh well.. We made a few phone calls and gathered 6 local cars to cruise with me..

I invited Monico Aldape to go but he said he couldn't and asked if I wanted to take his Impala... I did... I hate driving that car, because I have to give it back!

Baby Noah came out to check out the cars.

We stopped in Watsonville on the way up to Santa Cruz to meet Ralph (in the orange truck)

After meeting up with Ralph we stopped at La Selva to meet with Adam Wright and check out a preview of his latest book... Dig it! And not just because we have a couple photos in it.

Robert & Baby Robert met up with us in Santa Cruz.

Grumpy's Rivi right out front of the theatre.

After cruising a little and eating some pizza we headed back to Salinas to get some rest for a few hours before heading to San Diego for Chicano Park Day.

Saturday mornings

So here are some pics from this past Saturday as I met up with the fellas to talk cars & have breakfast.

Friday night Monico Aldape called ad asked if I would drive his 1964 Impala to a show in Soledad. I really don't like to drive other peoples custom cars much but it was hard to resist driving his, so I took him up on the offer..



Monico's 64 was painted by Delcas and the panels were done by Rod Powell... beautiful car!


Mikey brought his custom bike.


There are some nice cars around our area, it's nice to see them together.


Chino Chris has been building this 63 Impala for a long time.. well it's coming together quite nicely... and that's Dave Marrero's Chevy Pick Up



The Persueders & Dave Marrero's 55 Buick


Nice little Econoline Pick Up Matt & Ian have been working on... needs to be a little lower.


Rod Powell just back from his Lone Star Round Up trek (notice how low the Linocln is)

Lil Gus' clean Merc


Pollito's Merc... finally bagged

Then I was off to Soledad... driving Monico's 64 makes me want to get my Lincoln running.. something about driving and old car just makes you feel good.

I hope more local (& non-local) guys can make it next time. Even though it's a bit early for me, we all have a good time.

Next post should be more pics from my Round-Up adventure...

peace
