I figured I should probably post up some pics of the 74 Colt and what Todd has been doing to it. Yeah, I help a little bit here and there, but he's done most of it.

The rally falls on the weekend of my wedding anniversary. Laura would kill me if I left town!

What, going to a rally isn't a great anniversary trip? No? Well then, I guess staying in town might be the better option.

Ya know just a little creativity, like "Say honey, let's go to a romantic getaway down in Hood river"

A nice dinner, some wine, some nice husbandly duties (ba-boom ba-boom ba boom!) then in the morning "Oh look! Rally cars! I wonder if there's an event going on, let's just ask"

Problem solved!

I bet this is a great time for a wine country tour of the area around Hood River. We had some from Walla Walla last night that was delicious.

Love the claw hammer in the trunk....inbreds....

Nice restoration. I can remember when Colts and Arrows pretty much ruled the roost with Datsun and Mazda close behind. Damn I miss those old cars.
