Blockey tires

Post by Will » Tue Apr 16, 2024 3:11 pm

Got two of my Blockleys on. I will order two more in the coming month's. It was $687.77 for the two tires and tubes total. A big difference from the 4 Firestones I bought 25 years ago. I think I paid around $250 for all 4 back then. Looking forward for the first trip Thursday. There is a small show of vintage cars for a elderly care center Thursday near me and the Model T was invited to come and take part. Should be about a 25 mile round trip. These little shows for the elderly are always a lot of fun. The residence truly enjoy looking at the cars. The ones that can get into are cars we give short rides. We get some great stories how there parents had a car just like these. Maybe one day when it's my turn to be in the elderly care center I might just teach the car owner a trick or two! I should be easy to spot, While all the other old guys are looking at the the cars I will be the one under it!!!!

As Tom Sellick told Marston in the movie Quigley Down Under, I told you I dont have much use for handguns, I never said I didn't know how to use them!
