And a silver +2 of another of the friends. This car was out in Colorado for a good long while. The man who owned it still has a red S-3 S/E coupe and a Europa.

I look at Cortinas from time to time.

Absolutely-Totally cool cars.

What year [about] was that pic taken?

Cortina was there (in Sewickley) from '75 to '81.

The blue twink is still in your immediate area.

I passed a Sprint on 19 south a couple years ago...

Blue like that one & w/ gold rims...
Wonder if it was that car?

Can't remember if it was a "tin top" or not.

I was going too fast

Guy probably remembers me also...

He didn't appear to be in a "playful" frame of mind that day.

In my defense...
(While it was a double yellow, uphill turn)
I did give him 3 [standard] car lengths. \:G

And I did

Come to think of it...

WE where on our way to an Auto-X at North Park.

And I was running a bit late.
Probably 1/2 hr. behind my little brother...
I think I asked him about the Loti & he said that he never saw it.

Now that would have been something...
Getting passed by a Vixen & an Elva in the same morning.

I've never seen him since...
But I'm sure it was blue w/gold

Much like Bill Clinton, I don't recall any of events in question........

It's generally not my policy to publicly embarass other sports cars........ \:G
