When I first visited, they were in Berthoud, CO, a town of just over 5,000 residents. They work on all sorts of old exotica, and have moved to bigger digs in Ft. Collins.

Share Album Published May 14, 2019 Copperstate 1000 The Copperstate 1000 is one of the premier vintage car road rallies in North America. In 2006 and 2007 I was there to see the cars set off on their journey.

Share Album Published May 6, 2019 Carhenge I'm not sure if Carhenge fits in the "Landscapes" category. But if I'm going to include these pictures in my collection, "Landscapes" is a better fit than "Machines". It's a replica of Stonehenge, but built with old cars instead of stones. I figured it was the most interesting place nearby to view the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017.
