Time to hit the streets for another DKP Saturday drive.  Got to Nick's at 8:00 am this morning and hooked up with Rayburn, Dustin, Jason and Ben for a cruise out to Corona.  Dustin had promised his services to ScottP who is busy thrashing on his Ghia in hopes of making this years Classic.  It's a sunny warm day today and the drive east out Orangethorpe Ave is a hoot with plenty of stoplights to lean on the throttle.  Soon we are lost on the back roads of Carona but not for long as we eventually make our way out to Tom's Farms where the place is abuzz with Harley Davidsons.  After a quick sandwich and a cold one, we are back on the road and headed for Scott's house.  By the time we showed up, it had to be 90 degrees.... Scott's car is lookin' GOOD! Cool Cool Cool  After leaving Scott's, Rayburn headed back to OC and Ben and Jason came over for a few more brewski's.... now it's time to tune into NHRA action on the tube or more likely, a nap.  Life is good!

WOW! Just amazing at what little detail changes do to change a car's appearance. Car looks very complete and in order.

As usual, I forgot my camera but did catch Sarge a couple times with the phone cam. Sorry for quality. Angry

Had a great time putting another 100 miles on the beast, weather was perfect, scenery was great, hangin' with the DKP gang was the best! Smiley

I can't believe Sarge released those top secret photos of Scott's car  Grin  Grin
