      Seattle WA is my home town. I moved to AZ a few years ago. I would never pick up a hitcher in WA. No need to stop in WA.Most breakdowns happen within walking distance of a gas station.

    Hi Merlin. That place you stopped at is Vidal, not Earp. Wyatt Earp's cottage was very close to where you parked.
    The intersection of CA 95 and Hwy 62 is Vidal Junction. Earp is towards Parker at the intersection where you turn to Parker (62 & 95).
    Fun video. If you ever need a chase truck for adventures like this, give me a call. I am in Parker. Jim

    Bugatti is a French company that was founded in 1909 by Ettore Bugatti. In the early days, the brand focused on race cars and street cars in Alsace. Ettore Bugatti left the company to his son, Jean Bugatti, and the brand pivoted to sports and touring vehicles. This set the stage for future success.

    The Radiator is from the Original Bugatti Here's what I found on it The Bugatti Type 35B was introduced in 1927 and was the final iteration of the Type 35 series. The name Type 35TC was pondered since it shared the same 2.3 liter engine as the Type 35T and a supercharger just like the Type 35C. The engine produced an astonishing 138 horsepower, by far the most of the Type 35 series.

    Only 200 type 35 Bugattis were ever made. The last one that sold at auction went for $ 2,900,000. The only thing that Bugatti didn't hand craft in factory were the tires. The engine was built so well that no gaskets were needed anywhere in the engine.Top speed for a type 35 Bugatti was 125 MPH......in 1927. 0 to 60 in 6 seconds. It had an inline 8 cylinder water cooled front engine. It is an Italian car. That lever on the outside of the car was the ONLY brake. It was one of the most winning race cars of it's time. Over 1,000 wins and 47 world records. What you have is a cool kit car replica.

    I suppose that those polyester bodies were sold as a kit to adapt to a VW-chassis.
    Kind'a like this idea even if I'd prefer a Bugatti-ish body with some (old) engine in front instead of in the rear.
    Putting some bags of sand over the front axle (under the hood) will, for sure, give this car a lot more stability. Probaly something about 60 up to 100kg.
