Yesterday, 24th - my wife did take her ride out of the storage for a spin & and last minute Xmas shopping.
Apologies to all, this is gonna be car only - no IH this time. Although I was wearing the IH WT jeans…










my wife and my father-in-law did most of the restoration work themselves. Some of the parts are not original anymore: dashboard, seats, electrics, special paint job, etc.
They are still looking to get the original bumpers 2nd hand, but they near impossible to come by in the US. My wife is debating shipping the car to Berlin next summer (joining her Fiat 500) and fixing the rest over there…

[FOXY]

then we took it to the gas station and a little car wash…

[Seul]

Oh God: thank you, THANK YOU!.. Seeing that Volvo in British racing green is just pure car pr0n…

[FOXY]

Hitting the road…

Downtown Portland, Oregon…

[FOXY]

Window shopping at Tanner Goods, Blackbird Portland and Woodlands Supplies around the corner…

Cacao - a good chocolate store just across the street…

The neighborhood

A quick trip to REI

[FOXY]

Santa was coming to town…

Off duty…

[FOXY]

This morning - presents!

Alarm - little critters…

Meet Grey Kitty, 17 years old.

For the rest of today - just chillin'

[Seul]

Cute squirrel!.. Is that the Pendleton shirt you picked up?.. Looks immensely nice!..

Great pics, FOXY!..

[FOXY]

Yup - all factory outlet sales $19-$59

Pendleton do some of the nicest wool fabrics (woven) and their Sir Pendelton range is my favorite - fabrics made in USA, shirts made in Mexico.

[FOXY]

So, here's the plan:
Tomorrow we'll take the truck down to Mexico. One stop in Redding/Corning ,Ca. and another one in Mexicali before we arrive in San Felipe, Mexico.
If the traffic is on our side we plan to have a quick store check at Self Edge LA and Rising Sun (if they have the store open).
I will take pictures aplenty, but I might not be able to update on a daily basis. (Furthermore, I will post today's pictures together with the next update.)
