PRECIOUS SIGHTING!!!!

Yesterday was a grat day! Eduard gave me a spare used engine he had as a present and after picking it up we made a wonderful discovery....


A T1 Doka parked outside a garage waiting to have the brakes done! Even though she needs a lot of welding and body repairing she looked nice...gorgeous...


The flowers had been stuck to her by his proud owner and they are his company logo...

Inside was better than outside. The upholstery was in good condition but the door panels were not the original ones...

Looking her from behind...One of the latests T1s sold in the Canary islands!

It made a nice day: a given engine and an old Doka rescued from agony in a junkyard...!

TREASURE HUNT

Last Friday we went to see a great treasure: our friend Eduardo had invited us to vivist his uncle´s garage...a must to see!!!
There were some very fine Mercedes Benz in such a good state that it was impossible to believe that they have never been driven along the island roads!



Here the members of the Doka Club "flipando" with a Pagoda and a Ford Thunderbird...

Eduardo, Jesus & Zeben in the best company ever: this beautiful coupé...

Next we´ll show you more of the beauties hidden in that paradise garage... (

Sorry about the pics quality, but it was night and I had to switch the flash off because the register plates caught all the light when shot.)

DOUBLE CHECK

Last Saturday Gertrud & Guanchita (two of our Dokas) had an appointment al the local Vehicles Technical Inspection Unit. So we gathrerd soon and in a rare rainy day off we went...


We try to protect our "girls" from the rain to avoid rust anywhere, so this is a rare sight:


Here both ladies queuing for "the doctor":

Fist gertrud went throught the line: start up, lights, rolls, undercarriage inspection, etc...

And later Guanchita had her time with some surprises as she didn´t want to start just before entering the garage line!!!
In the end, they got the pass and they´ll have six months more to ride free...Meanwhile poor Gloria still awaits for a new engine block to substitute hers...
