Luftsick member Jyrki and his girlfriend Johanna spent couple of weeks in California last autumn. Their trip included normal sightseeing, parts shopping in Orange, drive from Los Angeles to San Fransisco with rented Cabriolet Mustang (through pretty cool scenery by the Pacific Ocean, not bad..) and visiting the Sacramento Bug-O-Rama.

Jyrki and Johanna visited also NHRA Motorsports Museum
and Friday night cruising in Redondo Beach. The average age of cruisers was about 50..
Don "The Snake" Prudhomme's Challenger Funny Car from the museum and Mustang Fastback (don't recall whether it is
'67 or '68) with American Racing 5-spokes. I used to be a huge Mustang "fan" as a teenager, watched "Spenser for
hire" just because the hero had such a car, luckily I didn't manage to buy a one later :-)
Sting Ray Vette with Halibrands, sidepipes and fender flares looks like just out of late 70's or early 80's
Hot Rod magazine, same applies with the Cobra (real thing) on the right. BTW, both cars were matching number
427 big-blocks.
