MTFCA Forum

Anybody interested in a third annual OCF MTFCA Forum Reunion ? We had a great time putting faces to names, seeing our Ts and, meeting. Let me know through the Forum and if there’s enough interest I’ll coordinate. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Sunday at 2PM if I remember correctly.

Just look for the fire engine on the game field.

Hi Marty and Dave, Sounds good to me, except that perhaps 4pm on Saturday would be better.

Keith

I stand corrected. Last year was Sat at 5. Keith has asked for 4.

What say the rest of you out there?

We don’t want Steve to miss a meal….. 4:00 pm Saturday works for me. I’ll try to bring a few early Ford examples along.
Chow,
Rob

I would also like to participate on Saturday. Either time slot works for me.

Majority rules on time slot and day. I’ll keep you posted.

PS: The fire engine may not be there this year. It’s in Rusty Bergs shop.

All,

I'd like to be in on this! I'll be around both days.

See you

Just bumping this to the top in case anyone missed it.

What does OCF stand for?

Old Car Festival in Greenfield Village, in Dearborn Michigan. September 10 an d 11. The forum folks gather at the ball field and embarrass ourselves by mispronouncing last names. Hort-Ness, J-Elf, Boo Fah Leeny, Buh-Dough, ect.....

And here I thought it was Old Codgers Festival.

Thanks Steve I will put it on my list of places to go! Love the train in the beginning

There are several locomotives at Greenfield Village. I think three of them are in regular service hauling visitors around the Village. #1 is Edison (1875), #3 is Torch Lake (1873), and #7 is Detroit & Lima Northern (1897), seen here passing by my car in 2019.

Great video! At about 12:28,that’s my 1923 American LaFrance Brockway Torpedo.

No one can pronounce my name. That is why my best friend use to call me Horse t*ts.

Hoping I can finally catch up with you all this year.

Thank you, Peter.
I'd been referring to you as Nye-Cola-Jevs.

Yes, it will be good to see everyone again. Glad I'm not the only one that gets my last name pronounced wrong! I'll see if I can drag Rusty down to the meet with me.

Of the four or five that responded, it looks like 4 p.m. Saturday. I thought we’d meet on the Activities Field opposite the buildings.

Not a great response so for. Any other takers or should I cancel?

Only four more days.

I’ll check here daily.

Spell it correctly as a start, David Hjortnæs! I believe I can pronounce it.

turn on your speaker & click on the speaker icon on the Danish side in the link above.

Linguistics is such a fun subject!

In the "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" movie, I think my favorite line out of all of them, is---Indiana Jones: "Oh, *idiot*! In Latin Jehovah begins with an "I" !"

Thank you IMDb for the exact quote.

My wife is descended from Finnish. Try properly enunciating Hilma Gustava Heikintr Pyykölä
That was her great grandmother!

I wish I could go to the OCF!

I’m sure you can count on Steve Jelf. He’s in transit as we speak with Runabout

To the top

4 more days!

Last year I intended to meet up and forgot. I'll set an alarm for this year.
