Photo of Minx is from an early October drive through the wildlife sanctuary. Still haven't identified the hawk we saw there.
Later in the month we picked up the Laverda from the museum where it spent the summer on display. It's nice to have it back home.
We heard the Cannonball Run this year would be from Portland to Portland, and would stop in The Dalles on Sept 22, so we made our biggest trip this year (overnight) to go see the motorcycles. They were all built pre-1929, but for this trip, they had battery-packs powering LED lights. See the belt drive? See the plunger? We had a lovely time.
The man with this Fiat 600 saw our Hillman in the driveway and stopped by to chat, and said he'd come back with his Fiat, and he did. The doors open front to back. What a little cutie!

I once, briefly, had the estate wagon version of that little Fiat 600. It packed a lot of room into its small chassis, but the body rust/rot was getting terrible so did not keep it long. That's the trouble with old Italian cars over here (together with the electrics)
I heard Hillmans had that same problem. I hope the garage is dry enough for ours.
