In 1977 my wife and I bought our Scout and have been in and out of love with it ever since. It has been through a lot and has given us both pleasure and grief. Many is the time that I wanted to sell it but there is just something about owning a Scout that I love.

After a huge snowstorm and major problems getting to work we decided that we had a need for a 4X4. We narrowed our choices down to two: a Scout or a Jimmy. The Scout won out but the Lethbridge IH dealer didn't have one with the features that we wanted. He tracked one down for us in Milk River, we drove out to see it, and not long after bought it. It didn't have cruise control but that was installed by the dealer before we picked it up.

Our "Honeymoon" at Banff in 1977 (We were married in 1975 but went straight to new jobs)

The paint was hardly dry when we had our first collision
Someone ran a red light and smashed into my wife in an intersection. No major injuries but we did have to make a major decision. Do we get it repaired or not? We decided to get the repairs done.

Another view of the damage.
We felt pretty sick about the whole thing, but what can you do but hope for the best.
