Coming to Spain in a couple of weeks, anyone need hard to find parts? I may have a free shipment as well...need a body or ch***is? hahaha.. Ramjet
My brother lives in Spain. He tells me the laws are so restrictive that the car hobby, as we know it, does not exist there. Even so, there is (or was) a Moon Eyes dealer there.
Not sure about that. I have sold a number of Model A parts to guys in Spain. I was in Madrid and Barcelona about two years ago and didn't really see much in the way of a Hot Rod Culture but I really wasn't looking either. Scooters are the preferred transportion means in the urban areas. I really liked the country and had a great time there but nothing happens until after 10:00PM at night and then it's a huge party. It is a whole different culture and way of life. Worth experiencing.
I'll bring this back to the front. I'm heading to Madrid next week. Anyone I should visit? Anything I should see? Anybody there need something from the States?
Go check out the Royal Palace, in Madrid, and make sure that you see the Armory, at the Palace, as well............ And,............I had some P M correspondence with a Spaniard, Hot Rod type on here...........Known as "Senor X". Good on ya', for making the offer!!!
One of my bro's Luis owns Trashville in Gijon, its a tattoo/bike/hotrod shop and he is also a surfboard maker. He is president of the Ruinners car club in Gijon. Good artist and good guy, drop by if you are in the neighborhood.
