Our Cars (dream or actual)

@Inorganic will do! I am loving that Land Cruiser of yours, what a beauty.
-
@derek111 ohhhhh shit!!!!! Congrats
-
@Inorganic 80 series the greatest car ever made (IMO)
Used to own one when I lived in Aus back in 2016/17, still miss that beast

@Inorganic yeah that’s a dream ride for sure!!
-
@hjl360 oh yes! great looking rig
-
@Mizmazzle rides like a dream coming from the taco, but that thing was a tank and about as slow as one. So it's nice change of pace for sure, although, I will always miss that thing.

Now on the return leg of my bike ride, last week or so. Ran into a group of europeans touring Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and Peru on classic cars. Real beauties all of them. The list was: Auburn, Bentley (2), Rolls Royce, Triumph, Corvette, MG, Citroen, Jaguar, Mercedes.

I had a blast chasing them down, taking pics and vids of them. I’m on the same route. Wonderful to see these museum beauties on real roads/trips through beautiful areas.
-
The Auburn is a real eye opener. 1928, 7000 cc! Have a vid of it idling but was unabke to post here. It was having trounle overheating on the climbs.

Great to see these cars actually being put to the use they were intended for.
Here's a little more on the rally they are in: https://via-flaminia.com/oldtimer-car-rally/2024-peaks-of-the-andes/ -
@motojobobo all of your adventures lately have been outstanding!!! As @tody said, “great to see these cars actually being put to the use they were intended for” QFT

Looks like the rally is called Peaks of the Andes 2024 going by the stickers on the cars. That is very cool to see in person! Great photos

6 months later, I finally got around to putting on the paint sealant. Just in time for the next hurricane. I love this truck, and my 888s-21.

Glad you guys enjoyed the pics.
@tody good work tracking down the official rally site!
Not all the cars listed there are on the road today in Argentina. I believe 9 - 11 are rolling onwards. A few never made it out of Chile, I hear. At least two Bentleys were shipped straight back to Europe from Valaparaiso.
