Sure Jim,

We can put together a small envoy of local guys here in the Model T Ford Club of Southern California and welcome him/her into the hobby, …starting with those driving lessons. How do we contact this “new Model T owner”.

We also have a one-day tour planed in his area where a dozen or more T’s will be participating. We would be happy to have him/her join us. Ask him to email me at: new north south @ g mail (all one word) and we will see what we can set up.

Steven

AWESOME - connecting Model T folks together.
Plus teaching them the correct things about driving a Model T.

Where in Topanga Canyon? Malibu side or Valley side? If you're going to giving him some driving lessons in that canyon (especially the Malibu side), that's going to be a "white knuckle" experience....for the both of you.
Fun never quits!

Just delivered the model T to Jim for a ride South. This is a really nice driver. It came here for a starter retrofit and Ruckstell installation. I’m sad to see it go, wish I could have driven it a bunch more.
