Wes Nielsen

Sunshine, cool old cars and asphalt is my kind of day. Hi, my name is Wes and I'm addicted to old automobiles and car shows. Living in Southern California there are cruises or car shows every day of the week. Heck on weekends there can be 20 plus shows and there is so much more. My love for the classic automobile takes me all around SoCal and here at Nostalgia Highway I share that with you.

Headed over to Torrance tonight for the @gasratz.c Headed over to Torrance tonight for the @gasratz.customs Car Meet (It's every Thursday) and to test out the @canonusa #eosrp with the #50mmlens I just got.

The #gasratzcustoms always put on a cool show and there are always some cool cars there. 

As for the camera I still need to work on some settings and getting use to a mirror less camera and I need like a 24mm lens. I got this so I don't always have to lug around my heavy #5dmarkiv everywhere.

Check out the @gasratz.customs for future events. They are always a good time.
