Kobus Touring California
SoCal, February 2004

My Belgian friend Kobus Cantraine made yet another trip to Southern California to hunt some rare parts for European markets. The car scene in California is quite amazing compared to what we have, you can almost accidentally bump in to some event almost every time you're over there, just check out the Irvindale raceway and swap meet photos.

Bob is apparently so busy that he has to have a duplicate in the events?
