Sunday trip, classic cars in Guatemala
The local car clubs decided to do a trip this past sunday to visit a car collector's museum in Antigua Guatemala. About 15 cars made the 70 mile round trip; here are some of the pictures:[frame]

Glad that pick-up is getting you around - hope that volcano doesn't start rumbling though!

Re: Sunday trip, classic cars in Guatemala
Some lovely cars 

Re: Sunday trip, classic cars in Guatemala
Agua volcano has been dormant for several centuries now, Fuego just a few miles away, however, is very much active. I took this picture three weeks ago, from yet another volcano called Acatenango. There are a few other active volcanoes in the country but actual problems are not frequent.[frame]
[/frame]Sometimes if the eruption is not too big you can actually climb the volcanoes and get some amazing pictures; this one was 8 years ago in Pacaya.[frame]
[/frame]As for the pick-up, there's been a drought in the whole country for some weeks now but since I took it out all nice and polished this weekend of course it started raining again

Re: Sunday trip, classic cars in Guatemala
I like the blue and white scooterette is it a Manhurin ? it is nearly the same as a DKW hobby late 50,s 

Re: Sunday trip, classic cars in Guatemala
You are very close, the scooterette is a Monark from 1957; my dad took a couple more pictures.[frame]
