In the Model Railroad trade we call those people rivet counters. Complain because an HO model has 14 rivets, but a real engine had 15. Like anyone else can see.

If your speedster breaks down and you have to bring a roadster instead.
If you do not have a speedster and want to join the tour.
I believe traditionally 90% of the cars are speedsters.
Russ Potter would never tell anyone they cannot join us.

Re: A shed for my T
YOu do not have to drain a radiator up here in the north. Fill it with Prestone in the right ratio and it is good to -40 degrees. Helps to prevent rust as well. It only works well if you heat in the winter and cool in the summer. Does nothing for humidity. If your county allows it, a portable shed i...

Re: Steve Jelf is heading to California
Larry Smith and Kim Dobbins will be next in line to take Steve for a T ride. They have his phone #. Too bad we cannot get Shorty out there. He will be living with his little brother, Mike. Steve told me that his 23 just needs some tranny work and it should be good to go.

Steve Jelf is heading to California
I just had a long 43 minute talk with Steve on the phone. It sounds like he is heading to LA tomorrow. Hard to believe. He is planning on hitting Derrick Pang for a Model T ride once he gets there. He informed me that he is walking with a cane, no walker, and he does not think he really needs the ca...

Best photo of the month!!!!
Too bad you could not go for a little ride, even if just around the block.
Next spring, maybe a chance to even drive it a bit.
Thank you so much.

If you mean the clinic at McPherson, it was posted once on FB. I believe Jan 19-20 or so.
I know Rob was going to present his race car, but I forget the rest. Maybe google McPherson or keep an eye on FB.
Someone hopefully will repost it.

Re: Steve Jelf update from Weiser 12-15-23
Thank you for taking over Joe. As Steve improves you get to aid in that improvement. I know it is probably too cold and too far away for you, but if there is anyone that could bring a T to Weiser, that would be a for sure boost. Maybe take him a carburetor to play with.

I am looking at the bottom of the page and Steve Jelf is there in black bold letters.
That tells me that Jeff(admin) and his cousin Robert got him back on the forum and Steve is reading. Hurrah.

Re: Update on Steve Jelf
We now have a permanent address. Can we all send him a christmas card and include a photo of your car or any other Model T. He can then explain to all his visitors what each car is, and it will be good exercise for his brain.
