Hello friends of Hive, it is a pleasure to be with you in this opportunity. As it has become customary in my blog, my most recent post will address one of my trips to Old Havana. Specifically the motoring museum, an invaluable part of the culture of the habanero. Since, if we habaneros are known for something, it is for the use and conservation of classic cars.
Hola amigos de Hive, es un placer estar con ustedes en esta oportunidad. Cómo se ha vuelto costumbre en mi blog, mi más reciente post abordará uno de mis viajes hacia la Habana Vieja. Específicamente el museo del automovilismo, parte invaluable de la cultura del habanero. Ya que, si por algo somos conocidos los habaneros, es por el empleo y conservación de automóviles clásicos.
By the way, I can tell you in advance that for this last month of the year, I will make a compendium of reviews of important places in Havana. Where I will focus on museums and renowned historical sites. Therefore, from this adventure through the world of motorsports, a route is traced that I hope my dear followers can enjoy by my side.
Por cierto, les adelanto que para este último mes del año, haré un compendio de reseñas del lugares importantes de la Habana. Dónde me enfocaré en museos y sitios de renombre histórico. Por lo que, desde esta aventura por el mundo del automovilismo, se traza una ruta que espero mis queridos seguidores, puedan disfrutar a mi lado.
Returning to the subject at hand, I must be honest with you. First of all, I really didn't know of its existence. If it weren't for my boyfriend, I would never have known that such a place was based in the capital. Second, I know very little about cars, my knowledge was pretty basic. Since I only know a few brands, and a little about their basic operation.
Volviendo al tema en cuestión, debo ser sincera con ustedes. Primero que nada, realmente no conocía de su existencia. Sino fuera por mi novio, jamás hubiera sabido que tal lugar tenía sede en la capital. Segundo, conozco muy poco de carros, mi conocimiento era bastante básico. Ya que solo conozco unas pocas marcas, y un poquito de su funcionamiento básico.
So when I found out about the existence of it, curiosity sprouted within me. And we took the initiative to visit him. Running into several surprises. First of all, the museum is quite different from what I expected. Since it is composed of two garages. One of rather large proportions. And the other minimum. So it would be divided into two exhibitions.
Por lo que al enterarme de la existencia del mismo, la curiosidad broto dentro de mi. Y tomamos la iniciativa de visitarlo. Topándonos con varias sorpresas. En primer lugar, el museo es bastante diferente a lo que esperaba. Ya que está compuesto por dos garajes. Uno de proporciones bastante grandes. Y el otro mínimo. Por lo que estaría dividido en dos exposiciones.
The first sector, which in proportions is that of a normal garage. It shows us in perfect condition. One of the jewels in the crown of motorsports in Cuba. A 1949 DeSoto. Practically that car has been in Cuba for 73 years. Exhibiting a stunning image, as if he had arrived yesterday from his hometown; Chicago. I have to admit I was blown away as the car is a beauty, and for someone who doesn't know much about them I have to say I was wowed.
El primer sector, que en proporciones es la de un garaje normal. Nos muestra en perfecto estado de conservación. Una de las joyas de la corona del automovilismo en Cuba. Un DeSoto de 1949. Prácticamente ese carro, lleva en Cuba 73 años. Exhibiendo una despampanante imágen, cómo si hubiera llegado ayer de su ciudad de origen; Chicago. Debo admitir que quede pasmada, ya que el auto es una belleza, y para alguien que no sabe mucho de ellos, debo decir que me cautivo.
Later in the tour, we find the second area. Which is the biggest garage. It is made up of two segments. One that is closed for repairs unfortunately. And the other, which is open to the public. In which, mostly cars used in Cuba and donated by prominent figures are shown, at different times and stages.
Más adelante en el recorrido, nos encontramos la segunda área. Que es el garaje más grande. Que se compone de dos segmentos. Uno que está cerrado por reparaciones lamentablemente. Y el otro, que se encuentra abierto al público. En el cual, se muestran en su mayoría automóviles usados en Cuba y donados por figuras prominentes, en diferentes momentos y etapas.
Such is the case, that we can appreciate a French Peugeot from 2003. A very common one on the roads of my country. Model 106, and that belonged in life to nothing more than the historian of the city; Eusebio Leal Spengler. That in the form of tribute, this tribute was paid to him. Leaving a trace of him, in the museum.
Tal es el caso, que podemos apreciar un Peugeot francés del 2003. Uno muy común en las carreteras de mi país. Modelo 106, y que perteneció en vida a nada más que el historiador de la ciudad; Eusebio Leal Spengler. Que a forma de tributo, se le rindió este homenaje. Dejando una huella de el, en el museo.
Another relic is the Jaguar Sovereign v12 model. Originally from Great Britain, and which belonged to Nicolás Kay. Deputy Head of the diplomatic mission in Havana. And that later out of the ambassador himself. This donation took place at the end of the 2000s. As well as that of the Peruvian official José Torres Muga, who gave away his Chevrolet, Malibu Classic model from 1981.
Otra reliquia, es el Jaguar modelo Sovereign v12. Oriundo de Gran Bretaña, y que le perteneció a Nicolás Kay. Sub-Jefe de la misión diplomática en la Habana. Y que con posterioridad fuera del propio embajador. Está donación se llevó a cabo, a finales de los años 2000. Cómo también la del funcionario peruano José Torres Muga, quien obsequio su Chevrolet, modelo Malibú Classic de 1981.
Other models that are also found, already falling in the last century are. A 1930 Babey Lincoln, a 1926 Willys-Overland, and a historical marvel. A 1957 Maserati, model 300 s, from Italy, has the honor of telling us a story. Since that car was specially built for a 1999 feature film. In which the famous kidnapping of sprinter Juan Manuel Fangio is told, during the Cuban civil war.
Otros modelos que también se encuentran, ya cayendo en el pasado siglo son. Un Babey Lincoln de 1930, un Willys-Overland de 1926, y una maravilla histórica. Un Maserati de 1957, de modelo 300 s, procedente de Italia, tiene el honor de contarnos una historia. Ya que ese auto, fue construido especialmente para un largometraje de 1999. En el cual se cuenta el famoso rapto del velocista Juan Manuel Fangio, durante la guerra civil cubana.
The list is undoubtedly even longer, but I will leave you with this brief approach. Since as the old people say, nothing better than seeing them personally. For what I recommend, if you come to Cuba, take a walk through this unforgettable garage of history and cars. Before saying goodbye, I leave several cars headed by a beautiful Mercedes Benz.
La lista sin dudas es aun más amplia, pero los dejo con este breve acercamiento. Ya que como bien dicen los viejos, nada mejor que verlos personalmente. Por lo que les recomiendo, si se llegan a Cuba, darse un paseíto por este inolvidable garaje de historia y carros. Antes de despedirme, les dejo varios automóviles encabezado por un bellísimo Mercedes Benz.

My previous @v4vapp proposal has expired. I have a new one which is running but unfunded right now. I'm still running @v4vapp and all my other services but I may have to increase the 0.8% fee to 2.0% if I continue to be unfunded.
Please consider asking your friends to vote for prop #244 or consider unvoting the HBD stabilizer explained below.
For understandable reasons in the current crypto climate it is harder to get funded by the DHF, I accept this so I'm asking a wider audience for help again. I will also redraft this proposal with more details (coming soon). I'm also looking for other funding sources.

Thank you so much for your support of my @v4vapp proposals in the past, my previous one expired this week.
I'd be really happy if you would continue supporting my work by voting on this proposal for the next 6 months:
