France and I on an evening drive in Rochester, NY. A nice view of the city from the Ford Street Bridge.

Well, the real question is: did you get stopped at the light or did you simply stop recording incriminating evidence?? :lol:

Way too short Mark but sweet! I could even hear your T running! Sounds good!
Lipping off a bit here, you have a muffler that can be heard like the '18 here.
I took 2 baffles out. ;)

Hey Mark, is the chattering you encountered earlier still gone after the oil change?
Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Even though it seems really close I was ok at that light. It’s a long duration at that spot and not a cross street, just a yield one coming from the right and no one was there. Driving in the city is a very different experience than out in the country in a model T, you really have to be on your toes. As far as the chatter, yes I would say it’s 95 % cured with the oil viscosity change.
