Imps? I have 4, there are another 10 in my control (or something like that, I forget).
I'm going to make an effort to take more pics of local old Iron. there is loads of it. It will make you sic. Ballard is full ov vintage volvols and other old 60's cars. Probably 25-50 in my 'hood.

Bahh! don't suppose you fancy a lodger for a month or two  But seriously, looks like a beautiful part of the world, I think you need to go and do some hardcore spottage, for the people ;D And 14 imps (of a fashion), thats a disorder is that  D |

Good to see you've made it over here, Al.
Next time you come over, can you sneak an Amazon estate into your hand luggage. Beer will be provided;)

Great pics, those yanks look awesome in the snow.
Here's hoping they do a repeat of N.E. soon, it's been too long.

Fab! Model A is my pick of the bunch though I think I'd change the headlights back to big ol' round ones!

Those old yank tanks look so much nicer with faded and stained paint and spotty, tarnished chrome.
I'm no fan of american cars at all, but those rats really do have something attractive about them, that the shiny ones just lack. The rust and the dents balance out the over the top, fashion driven styling.

Brilliant pictures, there's definately something about an old car with a time-worn appearance, they don't even need to be completely rat-look or hanging in bits or anything, but there's a charm to battlescars and fading paint and stuff. Great weather for pictures too, we just don't get that kind of weather round here, besides tiny little pockets of it in the Scottish highlands but they don't last long. |

Tim,
Them Volvos are given away to the local shap that repairs them (only vintage volvos, huge population of them here in Seattle). I Think it would take few trips to bring it over in checked baggage, but at least the weight allowance ir greater going your direction.
Capitol hill is close. Pretty much everything is close. Roslyn was only 90 miles away and over a snowy 3200 foot pass.
My friend has a A35 sitting down at his house rotting away.
I'll bring my camera again today and take soem time to shoot some of the local cars.
