Me and a friend decided to go to Cuba, both of us are very interested in old cars and fans of the creativity the cubans use to fix these old cars. We thought it would be a good idea to go and see this with our own eyes when the Castro brothers are still alive, the reason is that there might be a risk that alot of the old american cars would disappear if they die and the embargo is lifted.
We rented a car and took a roadtrip around the whole island between 16 december 2011 and 9 january 2012.

I hope that there is some pictures that you guys will find interesting!
Some pictures are shot from the hip making alot of mixed quality images...
