Default Re: Touring with other Model A's - How does your club communicate

Jim, a lot has changed since you have been gone. Personally I would also recommend cellular communication however I would recommend you and the other Model-Aers NOT parade to Savannah as a group, ...but instead travel in small groups at 1-2 minute intervals with plenty of rendevous' along the way.


As the group leader, take the time to make up small booklets that your group participants can follow outlining stops, turns, and points of interest along the way. Groups of 2 - 3 Model-A's rarely impede traffic however groups of 6 or more together almost always cause traffic issues for others. In those larger groups, the cars at the end are always trying to make sure they don't get caught at a traffic signal, and the cars in front typically slow down or pull over waiting on those who got detained. This has the potential for creating unnecessary safety issues. Then there is always the few participants that need to take an unscheduled bathroom break but do not want to inconvenience the rest of the group by asking for everyone to stop. Google Maps and Google Earth are your friend these days for mapping out trips such as this. Find points of interest along the way to route your participants to drive by. Antique stores, small town squares, roadside parks, and larger convenience stores make great 15 minute stops for people to stop and stretch their legs. Then cell phone numbers of different ones can be placed in your tour book should anyone have a problem. Good luck and safe travels.
