Vacation time.

So, I have been on my summer vacation and I have stumbled on this:

http://blog.elcaminostore.com/

I have known Eckler's El Camino store a long time, but did't know they have a blog too. Well, it's quite new since oldest post is from end of the April this year. There are few articles but one of them might proven to be helpful. As my drivers side door is stuck and I have post pone buying a new door latch assembly. I really should buy them and change them, both sides as the passenger side is showing the same signs.

And we participated annual Forssa Pick-Nick at Forssa. That is one of the largerst, if not largest, single day car happening in Northern Europe. Last few years there weren't that many El Caminos around but this year there were quite few. I didn't have the time to shoot them all. Pictures can be found behind this link.

Buyer's guide for 3rd gen El Camino?

I have been busy doing something else than my El Camino and I run across this article by Motortrend.com the other night.

It's quite short and it's saying nothing. It is more like a short history story about 3rd generation El Camino. There aren't any tips to spot good deal or what is the current value of these magnificent cars... er, trucks?. Crucks.  It might be that this is just a victim of nowdays click-baiting-journalism. I clicked when I saw headline mentioned El Camino from my favorite years. Otherwise I would have not clicked and open in at all.

Yes, you might call this post as a click-baiting as well, but I don't do this for the money, but I don't mind if someone once in while helps me with reading my postings and maybe clicking some... if you know what I mean. With these rates that I'm getting clicks, I'm lucky if I ever hit payments threshold, ever.

I did a search to see if there is any good buyer's guide for 3rd gen. El Caminos. I came across this website and it struck me that how similiar those are. Actually later one is 1-on-1 copy from Motortrend.com article with some addtion at the end which make it worth a bit more. Which Motortrend.com should have wrote in the first place. Unless Motortrend.com's article is just a small  converted article from original paper version it's a kind of teaser for online viewers to buy that magazine and read the whole story it's just sad. But Motortrend's webarticle is published almost a year later when that article appeared in the paper version.

Oh, well. Much about nothing. And back to the garage.
