Sunday trip, classic cars in Guatemala

Post by GBond »

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]Image[/frame]Might have some trouble keeping up[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]"The toy shop"[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]Convertible Moggy[frame]Image[/frame]Traveller[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]A little Fiat awaiting restoration[frame]Image[/frame]Austin van[frame]Image[/frame]Couldn't resist taking some pictures of the pick-up with the volcano[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]It's useful to have low gearing over here[frame]Image[/frame]Keep those numbers rolling!

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

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]Image[/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]Image[/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 :-?

You are very close, the scooterette is a Monark from 1957; my dad took a couple more pictures.[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]
