Re: 34 trip

Lawrie, that's the same route (in reverse) that we took to get to your place coming from Lake Gairdner in 2018.

Re: Honesty to the extreme.

Back in the 50s in Southern California, the only time we locked the house was when we went on vacation.

Re: Honesty to the extreme.

When I moved to central Utah 19 years ago, you'd fill your tank then go in and pay. I guess now with the widespread use of cards it has all changed.

Re: Trip away in the 34

Lawrie, we're doing good. KC moved in with me in March. Tank is for sale. Went 190 last October. Not bad for an unblown Flathead on gas.

Re: 3.54 ratio stock in an axle

My 1936 Touring Sedan has one. I bought it in Texas in 2003. I'm pretty sure it was never changed, judging from the rest of the car.

Re: 1914 Cross Country Road Trip to Dearborn

In 2008 for the 100th anniversary of the Model T we did the Sea to Sea Tour and travelled 120 to 180 miles per day. Your mileage may vary.
