My daughter-in-law and I had a yard sale at our house this past weekend. During all of the planning I assured my husband that NOTHING from the garage would be sold, no one would be allowed in the garage. . .

We set the tables up in the driveway, our chairs in front of the 26 Coupe, turned the light off in the garage and made is very clear that nothing in the garage was to be looked at. There is an engine hoist in front of the Coupe as David just finished putting the motor back in.

The arrow on the left is pointing to the Coupe in the garage, the arrow on the right to the Touring car, under it's cover in the side yard.

Late Saturday afternoon a 30ish looking guy walked up the driveway and wanted to know if the Coupe was for sale. I told him no, that in fact the motor had just been put back in and that hopefully it would be on the road soon. He told me that it would look really good with a big motor sticking out of the top of it, that he was into hot rods. I told him that we were past that stage and enjoyed the slow lane, he sort of huffed and walked away saying that he needed to go mow. I didn't realize that this guy was hired to mow the yard of the house on the corner - the vacant house where I had put one of the Garage Sale signs! When I went to pull the sign Saturday afternoon, I found it on the ground - guess he didn't like my answer about liking original cars! :-)

The yard sale was a success; what didn't sell was picked up for donation this morning. No T's or Tools are missing or were harmed over the weekend.

I can live without a big engine or high speed, but not without humor.

My next door neighbor took a 31 Model A and made a "Rod" out of. Just makes me sick to se it, but for a Rod it does look nice. He has tried to get me to get something faster than my "T". I would like to put together a Speedster, however there would be a death in the Family if I did and it would be me. "It would read retired Office equipment owner found dead in garage, cause unknown but wife is a person of interest.

I was humorous once. Then, I awakened from that drunken stupor. :-)

Earlier this summer, I took my Coupe to a convenience store on a beer run.

I was standing in line waiting to check out when a young man of about 12 or 13 pokes his head in the door and asks, "Is that your car?"

I said, "Yep, sure is."

The kid replies, "It's a cool car but you should put a bigger motor and flames on it."

I felt like channeling WC Fields on that kid...hahaha

I like WC Fields...go away kid...ya bother me.
One of the nicest things about a T is I don't even think about being in a hurry.
It ain't gonna happen!
I've found a lot of nice old back roads to drive around on to get to places that I'd take a faster road in my modern iron to get to.
My modern iron is a 30 yr old VW diesel, so it's not all that fast either.

G,day,
We just celebrated the 50th running of the Bathurst 1000 km Race. I had one of the competitors in the '23 with me. He was one of the Ford drivers and did not appear to be impressed with the car. I told him that the car has done laps of the track and his eyes widened when I told him that the brake was a narrow band soaking in oil binding on a drum inside of the transmission and working through the diff on the rear wheels. The circuit is on Mt. Panorama here in Bathurst and is very steep and quite unique and very hard on cars. Those that have driven around the circuit can attest to it's steep drop off to the fastest part of the track. The track is a public road for most of the year and well worth visiting. My racing driver passenger had a whole new respect for the old girl to travel down the track with "NO BRAKES" !!!

Dick;
You had ICE on the ground or did you just spill some ice cube from the freezer. LOL

I wonder how much alcoholism over the years can be traced to the likes of WC Fields?

WC: "Children...I love children....girl children around 19 or 20."

Or the more famous:

"I love children... if they're properly cooked!"
