I've never cared as much about speedsters, BUT that speedster WITH a pitbull in a hat with goggles and a pipe is just amazing!

Sometime back Tom posted what appears to be another view of the speedster in the sixth
photo above. Looks like driver/hat/jacket/goggles/gloves but with a short exhaust pipe
(no hood exhaust ports) and no shocks. Same fuel tank, steering column support, clincher
racing clamps and later style radiator cross support. I don't believe I have another photo
of a T-racer with the tire clamps except for Frank Kulick driven Ford racers.

The Ford is pretending to be a Mack truck.

The T tourer on the jetty with the motorcycle outfits is a late teens RHD car, likely to be a Duncan and Fraser built car. The windscreen and protruding door hinges are typical. The nickel plated radiator shell was a popular addition, usually accompanied by nickel plated headlight rims also. Records held at the National Motor Museum may be able to pinpoint the date of first registration and the buyer of the car.

The pit bull made me think of the story of the Winton thar crossed America. Horatio's Ride I think it was called.

Note the motorcycles on the jetty with the right hand tourer, the sidebars are on the left side of the bikes, definitely briven on the left side of the road unless you want to get rid of your girlfriend.

The last picture must have been a fairly early heavy snow with winds to drift it as there are lots of leaves on the trees and no snow in them.

#8 the boy appears to be barefoot but it looks like chains on the rear wheels and possibly mud on the side of the front tire
