Hot Blanket from Mexico

Today I received a hot stuff package from California - friend Tom "The Gardener" send me this nice mexican blanket straight from the Hot Rod county. This colorful mexican blanket "Molina" was originally made in Mexico, no China Scrap, must washed separatly and is from Acrylic. The size is big enough to cover your bed, use as a seat-cover or perfect for a picknik with your lovely Girl. Love it - and many greets to So-Cal Beach!

This blanket "Molina" is ca. 2,60 x 1,60 m and available in different main-colors but same design. Be aware this is handmade, so every mexican blanket delivery could be different from this photos.

Rodders proofed: Looking nice as Seat cover.

Still in work the Honda CB50. I had cut the seat for 3 cm to lower it and shorten the taillight. A new holder for the plate is not ready but it fits. Hope you are not tired to see this tiny bike...
