November weekend

While I was trying to begin with the rubbers and seals of the Eriba,
I couldn't help letting my 20-months-old nephew play inside the caravan.
All is child-dimensioned there, so he felt better than at home!

He tried to dismantle everything inside...

On Sunday I helped Silvia with her KG...
Caution! Work in Progess!

Rust is already eating the pan here, so we just sanded the whole thing...

We opted to stop the rusting process for now, putting a black antirust gel by Saratoga, applied with a paintbrush. Not for show. But I'm sure it will be fine for a while.


In the meantime the winter recovery for a pair of VWs is almost ready:

New rubbers for the Eriba Puck...

Volks'n'Roll 2009

This year, as every year we didn't miss the Volks'n'Roll meeting

I could take both the 'doka' with the puck caravan, and the 'duve'.
Good weather, awesome location, cool music, best company.
Some problems with the regulator made my trip a little troublesome.
Still better than the friend of mine who had to find a new alternator to replace the one he broke at the meeting...

feel the Nature? :-P

cruising on the highway to Val d'Aosta (total 750 kms)

David and Goliath...

Goliath and David... :-)

Climbing Appennino's hills

descending Alpi's hills

Adjusting front height

New wheels for the Eriba Puck!

On eBay Germany I found a pair of nice wheels I can put on my Eriba Puck.
I paid only 40 euros including tires and shipping!
A real bargain in my opinion.
I like them because they feature those triangles and recall me of the famous Fuch wheels...

I'd like to detail them black/silver.

This is a tryout using Photoshop...

Sardinia (4) with Eriba Puck + VW Bus

Driving in the nature... towards Munavera, on the South East coast
A typical 'nuraghe' along the street

At the Village 'I 4 Mori' with the moonlight

Incredibly turquoise water between Costa Rei and Villasimius

A Spanish 17 years old guy we gave a lift to. He was thumbing and spending his holiday with 3 euros a day for food.

We stopped on the road, descending a steep slope (15 minutes walk) to reach one fo the most beautiful places where you can swim...

Look at this water!

Swimming pool?

What style of diving is this??? hehehe bomb style

The difficult part was to get to the doka again, but we did it

Driving on the SS125...

Horses on the street...

Rocky mountains...

PIGS! I tried to mix with them...

Pigs freely f..ing around on the street

around 1000 meters from the sea level

Then downhill road full of bends and precipices...

Lonely cloud chatting with its own shade...

6.00 AM trying to get the ferry in time...

Taken!

Do you know how to spend 5 hours without getting bored?

On the way home we spotted this VW powered trike

And some strange Citroen objects returning from an International meeting in Rome...

What is it like to drive something like this???

It gives place to six people to sleep
