Additional info: Looks like he will be moving to Lomita, California soon to be with his brother. News is on FB. He sure is taking the long route back to Kansas. Dear Family & Fr...

Best photo of the month!!!!

Too bad you could not go for a little ride, even if just around the block.

Next spring, maybe a chance to even drive it a bit.

Thank you so much.

Re: 2024 Midwinter Clinic

If you mean the clinic at McPherson, it was posted once on FB. I believe Jan 19-20 or so.

I know Rob was going to present his race car, but I forget the rest. Maybe google McPherson or keep an eye on FB.

Someone hopefully will repost it.

Re: Steve Jelf update from Weiser 12-15-23

Thank you for taking over Joe. As Steve improves you get to aid in that improvement. I know it is probably too cold and too far away for you, but if there is anyone that could bring a T to Weiser, that would be a for sure boost. Maybe take him a carburetor to play with.

I am looking at the bottom of the page and Steve Jelf is there in black bold letters.

That tells me that Jeff(admin) and his cousin Robert got him back on the forum and Steve is reading. Hurrah.

Re: Update on Steve Jelf

We now have a permanent address. Can we all send him a christmas card and include a photo of your car or any other Model T. He can then explain to all his visitors what each car is, and it will be good exercise for his brain.

I keep getting notices from OReilly on FB for 20 percent off. You need to use a code they supply to get the 20 percent off. Usually it never works for the Optima battery, but this time it did. They never go on sale..And it states I can return the core to the local store. So I got the battery for $20...
