Blue Ridge Tour Pictures
Update!!! As we have done in the past, the Sooner club members that made the Blue Ridge Tour are sending back and posting pictures almost daily. It's a great way to participate in the tour even if you couldn't go.
So far we have a blown head gasket and a cracked glass sediment bowl but our hardy travelers are having a great time. Sooner Model A Blue Ridge Tour Photos Now over 400 pictures.

Re: Blue Ridge Tour Pictures
Thanks so much for the photo treat. Now we are so jealous and all nostalgic for hardwood forests, windy roads, limestone cliffs, and amazing water falls... not to mention... ROAD TRIP! Have a great time!

Re: Blue Ridge Tour Pictures
One more blown head gasket today, caused by a bad valve seat. Lots of hands and parts gathering and he is ready for Monticello tomorrow. At least it was running when we left , only needing the water pump to be put on. Lots of nice cars to look at.

Re: Blue Ridge Tour Pictures
Great pics, thanks! I use to live up in the Smokies in North Carolina off and on for a few years. It surely is God's Country.

I think Randall Strickland said he had a water pump issue.

Great pictures. Someone actually carried a spare head gasket?

Re: Blue Ridge Tour Pictures
Sure! Light weight, fits easily under the seat...
why not? I bought a car once from a guy who had a spare generator in the trunk. Now that's crazy! Why take up all that space and weight for something that seldom goes out?

Re: Blue Ridge Tour Pictures
I received a text this afternoon from a customer saying they were having fun but the visibility has been anywhere from 20-60 foot because of the fog. Been a wet, soggy trip for some.
