So recently I took the brave step and entrusted my Model T in the hands of my sister, Zoe. This is technically only the second time she's driven it, and a few reminder pointers were needed! I'm pleased to say everything went well, she did great, and I captured it all on video... enjoy!

Thanks for posting this interesting Video. You sister did good.

She did great! It does make me wonder how the salesman delivered a new one and then had to teach the new owner how to drive it.

I think I will stick with my 53' Merc with the Merc-O-Matic.

Great video.

Not bad at all. She’s a natural even though the steering wheel is on the wrong side for her. I was impressed with her hand signaling, most people don’t know how. The roundabout had me confused when she went left, everything reversed in Aussie land. I’m not looking forward to teaching someone to drive my T. I tried to teach my daughter to drive a stick shift and told her she should stay with automatics after 5 minutes into it.

This was great! She did wonderful considering she is also on the opposite side of her normal driving position. Thanks for sharing.

That was fun! Good job both keeping your cool, and instructing. Thanks for posting that.
