    Two of my friends from Germany, Matthias and Rama, had their friend Miguel put together this short film/ video of our trip from Dallas, TX to the Bonneville salt flats last summer.

    <iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/65800203" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/65800203">Bonneville</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user6209975">Matthias boettcher</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>

    This was the first time I'd driven my '29 Roadster, and that was maybe not the smartest decision I've ever made...but it was an adventure. The scenes from New Mexico show us working on my generator with the help of several local characters we met along the way.

    I also documented the build-up and trip in a post here on the HAMB:

    Thanks to Matthias, Rama and Miguel Romero for putting this together!

    Larry, you'll have to use your imagination. :)

    I think the guys did a good job of capturing the overall mood and feeling of the trip with their musical selection.

    Music is by "The Cowboy Without a Horse" from Bolzano, Italy.

    Sort of like theme music for a spaghetti western, I guess?

    Welcome to my world. ;):D

    Great video. Can't wait to be the one piloting my roadster clear across state line after state line. How soon are you expecting to get the stroker remedied and back in action?
