File this under family/nostalgia. Here’s a really gritty scan of a slide from the late 1970s, showing my Dad’s Swallow Doretti and my mom in front of what appears to be, maybe, the Coast Range west of Portland. According to Wikipedia, only 276 Swallow Dorettis were ever produced, in 1954-55. The car is built on the Triumph TR2 platform. I don’t know what ever became of it.
After a period of time in my life I will henceforth call The Jaw-Droppingly Busy Era, I am emerging again—just in time to jump on a train and then a plane to Reykjavík. In the next month or so, I’ll be visiting Iceland, Ireland, the UK and France. Hang out with me and you might see some photos and general Euro-miscellany. Sound OK?
I use Twitter to tell people what I am doing right now.
