Default Fall Cruisin' Pics #1

Fall is my Favorite time of year for cruisin' and taking pics. Here's a few pics I've taken recently.





A little creek with the setting sun behind me.


Lots of color here and shows the color of the car quite well. Grandson took the next 2 pics. He's my regular shotgun rider.


Just a GREAT view


And a couple of the car hiding in the weeds as the sun goes down.




Car is running great. With the new rag joint and new PSCV it steers pretty good. It's not 100% so am going to send the steering box out for a rebuild job by Gary this winter. In the mean time I'm getting in as much wheel time as I can before the white $%& arrives.

Your car looks awesome. 2nd & 5th pics are my favourite. Scenery is beautiful. No better place than British Columbia, Canada. Thanks for posting pictures.

Shmoky,

What size tires (front & rear) do you have on your car? I really like the stance, it's looks great! Yellow is my favorite color on a C3, it's the same color as my 76.

Thanks!

Mike
