Baumi's famously relaxed orchard cruise-in party in his own back yard
attracts different visitors from all over the place for several days in a row
to meet in the most laid-back atmosphere and talk and live cars
a cunning concoction of cool
where regulars travel hundreds of miles to be part of the garden scene
where the barbie is kept sizzling hot and the brew is refreshingly cold
where people get to test cruise each other's rides
and fix a million little broken things right there and then
explore the underhood mysteries
of real steel vintage engineering
and Fords are just about as welcome as Chevies ;-)
...but only a little over a hundred miles north oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo a Butcher prezz is having a party as well...
at his newly acquired estate of a former gas station and garage
so I go slow on the blondes and head up north to the Bavarian highlands
to worship the God of Low, the Maister of Air
in his newly refurbished shop and garage
where some serious iron gathers to celebrate
the fact that vintage tin needn't be shiny to be cool
but might just as well
Ford gasser with the looks but lacking the sound to back that mean stance
beautiful country cottage scenery
sorry if this is coming on strong but I just love the shape and paint
then the evening ended with a selection of Schanzenbräu and a dash of Pfeffi
before I lay my heavy head to rest in the geographer's guest room
morning chat, getting ready for the trip back home
Butchers rides 2017
so cool!
