Went to Ballard on Friday to see Dale Watson at the Tractor and this was in front of the restaurant we had dinner at.  Appropriate for old Ballard, but was surprised to see it in new, gentrified Ballard.

OT: Olympus Rally 2015

Bothell Crocs at the Olympus Rally.  I did some spectating at the Olympus yesterday.  It was the first stage rally I've been to since the 1989 Pacific Forest SCCA Pro Rally.  Back in the 80's I used to regularly attend the SCCA Pro Rallies in the Olympia WA area.  You can see some of the photos I took of those events on my other blog:  Vintage Northwest Motorsport.  In among all the Subaru WRX's there was some interesting old stuff.

1967 Ford Cortina

Merkur XR4Ti.  This car had a 2012 Ford Ecoboost turbo in it.

1979 VW Rabbit with a turbo!

2 of the 3 Volvo 242's in the event.

Volvo 940 Turbo

Acura RSX

Toyota Celica.  It reminded me a lot of the factory rally cars from the 80's.

Here's the Subaru factory team car that won the event at Service 1 at the Ridge Motorsports Park:

Short takes: Amphicar

Normally I try to get multiple shots of a particular subject, but spotting one of these is so rare, I'm breaking my rule on this one.  We spotted it in Kenmore this morning.  I have not seen one in person since I was a kid.  In the small town I grew up in, we lived down the street from the owner of the Pepsi distributor and they had a blue one.  Pepsi had some sort of promotion program in the 70's where their could get an Amphicar to promote Pepsi.
