      Merlin I think that’s cool. I bet you get a million hits if you put air ride suspension and one of your hopped up vw engines 1.5 million hits with a Ls and disc brakes! Love it

      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

    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.
