Hi there.

Here are two videos we just made in France.

The first is made by my son Hugo and concerns an attempt to drive a Ford model T using ethanol.

The second is made by a young YouTube influencer trying to drive my Ford T for the first time. It was not easy for him, but he succeeded. Now he is convinced that the Model T is an extraordinary car.

I hope you will like these two videos, even if they are in French and it is not easy for everyone.

Very nice videos, thanks for sharing.

Two beautiful Model T's driving on beautiful county roads.

Altho I did ‘Tap to Unmute’, I had no audio on either YouTube.

I had excellent sound, but I can't even speak American let alone French, but I still enjoyed the videos and scenery.

Thankyou Olivier. It even looks a little like Idaho.
It's nice to know Ts are running around all over the world.

Olivier nice model Ts and I enjoyed the videos especially the 2nd one. I think Hugo tried his best to convince the YouTube influencer driving, that 30 weight non detergent oil was the best choice but the influencer was convinced 20 weight synthetic would be better though 30 weight was ok. Just joking, I wish there was a way to have translation on YouTube like is offered on script. It must be wonderful to have your son so involved in the hobby & representing the T model world community so well. Best John

for those who enjoyed the filming location of these two videos, here is the exact location on Google Map: Repère placé

through these videos, I would like young car enthusiasts from the 70s and 90s to be able to discover the Ford model T that they do not necessarily know.
the comments are very encouraging in this sense.
do not hesitate to share these videos so that they can be released more easily on YouTube and that more and more young enthusiasts can discover what a Model T is. thank you in advance

One of my young colleagues is from Lille France and he had never owned a car. He only used public transportation. He moved to the US last year and now he's on the hunt for an old Ford F100 as a weekend project and driver. He's hooked on the old American iron. He was surprised by my answer to this question. "What days will he be allowed to drive his old truck?" Back in France, the days are limited when old cars can be on the road.

Oliver, are you limited also?

no, no limitations where I am. traffic restrictions are only valid in major cities, but collections over 30 years old are not affected by these bans.

During WWII my dad was shot down over Lille France and was so badly wounded that the underground had to give him to the Germans for medical care...or so-called medical care. He spent the next two years as a POW

Sorry for the off topic but I think it is important to remember history
