September/October 2023

Well it appears as if Summer has temporarily left us, and I think we are all ok with that. A little rain and cooler temperatures never hurt anybody. I’m still getting prepped for the Beat the Heat tour to Chico. There are only two potential weather outcomes at this point, 115 degrees or 4 inches of rain, only time will tell. I’m still working on all my cars, and will move Model A’s to the front of the list. I missed out on a very cool Phaeton, Those that are interested, just ask...

July/August 2023

Well ,time has caught up with me and I need to admit that our trusty Woody did not tcomplete the parade route for the 4th of July. It suffered significant vapor lock. The good news is that I went back to retrievethe car several hours later and it started rightup and drove home fine. Now on to the incredible news... We had 18 cars join us for the parade, that’s unheard of and is a great testament of this club’s willingness to still get out there...

May/June 2023

We need to talk, I mean have a real discussion...go get your readers and put‘em on. Get a pen and paper if you need to and take notes. Ok, ready? Let’s go. We are a car club. We own cars, enjoy cars, work on cars, talk cars, now we need to drive cars. The Ford Model A may be the easiest most reliable car ever built. I can take any car in my fleet and drive it with little to no concern. As a club, in numbers, folks need to be less concerned about breakdowns….
