What happened to the two Ts that were driven from Detroit to Hershey.

Were they sold there or driven back to Detroit?

Jeron and Stephen made it back to Detroit Sunday I believe, Seamus is continuing his trip, I forget where but he’s driving enough to make his total trip mileage 2000 miles!

Seamus likes to drove about 45mph. I go 30-35. He would leave me in his dust I think it is great that these guys make this journey.

Hope they have an auxiliary transmission! 45 is fast for a stock t.

They both have ruckstell axles with altered gearing as well as “goosed up” engines as they put it.
