This looks like a very visually interesting film. |
◊ 2009-11-19 23:45 |
Indeed. ![]() But it has only 3/10 in IMDB. |

Very low budget movie with very bad amature actors and no plot at all. I do not recommend, I repeat DO NOT recommend this movie to anyone. Some nice cars though. |

Hmm, is any IMCDB-member living in that area, or is anyone planning to go on vacations there? Then he can/should make the work to check the "unknown" cars and register other interestings ones, which aren't visible in the movie. ![]() |

Nice! I wouldn't mind spending a few hours there. Wait a minute! They got their own dirttrack, that must be the place of my dreams ![]() |

If you go on Steetview on S Willow Ave, you can actually see some of the cars that appear in the movie, like this Cadillac and this row of Chevrolets (there are 3 more 1958 Chevrolets past that one!). |

It's good that places like this one still exist. So many big junkyards have been demolished in recent years. |

![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHKBa_JvUAo ![]() ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuulKF7o6zM&feature=related It's Tinhunter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHKBa_JvUAo P.S. It's K 70-free. I've picked out three Majorette... ![]() What's you now? Is it possible for any IMCDB-member to check the place in reality? -- Last edit: 2009-11-21 20:16:36 |

Depending on the weather-situation and if we visit General Sherman (today we sat the whole day in the lodge due the snow) then, there may be a chance to visit that location tomorrow. My wife hasn' t noticed, that the address is already recorded in the Tomtom ![]() |

Ingo, if you have the time would you mind look for this part for me?![]() ![]() It's a chrome trim piece for a 1949 or 1950 Ford. I know they had one on a car behind a barn outside of the regular yard. I should have bought it when I visited the yard last year, don't know why I didn't do it ![]() You use a GPS? Do you rent it with the car or did you bring your own? On my road trips in the US I have found it handy to buy one month mobile subscription for my own phone, that way I have unlimited Internet access and I can use Google maps in the phone to navigate. |

Sorry, it was not possible to make a stop there, although we passed Fresno ![]() We use a Tomtom-GPS with US-software, but it's a bit outdated, because we bought it for our Canada-trip in 2011. We also have my wife's new tablet and her also new Smartphone with us. And our rental-car, a Ford Explorer, has a full GPS-equipment, too (but we don't use it). At our US-eastcoast-trip in 2008 we made the mistake to rent a GPS - very expensive. So for the next trip we bought an US-spec Tomtom used via eBay from a German couple, who had bought it in N.Y. just for their own trip a few weeks before. |

P.S. the purchase of the part would make a problem even bigger: there are already too many souveniers and outlet store-items... Although I haven't bought the *cough* Hillman-engine-repair-manual on the Rose Bowl flea market in Pasadena. ![]() Annother destination/event for a next USA-trip came in my mind: www.ufofestivalroswell.com ![]() ![]() -- Last edit: 2014-03-28 06:38:42 |

And where to find him? On a junkyard-voyeur movie! ingo, you are a weirdo. Happy hollidays! |

@DidierF: not that bad. Not for a married man. Then the plans to make "scrapyard vacations" are harder to realize ![]() P.S. My wife is a bit angry about this posting. I've told the truth on her question "What are you writing on my tablet?" - "An apologize, that you didn't let me spend time on this junkyard" |

Wow, the demographics in Fresno are way more interesting than where I live. Last time I went to my local junkyard, the rarest pre-1985 foreign car I could find was a Nissan Stanza... How sad is that? |
