That is one of two 'K's that Rob owns. The gentleman that restored that car for Rob is a man named Dean Yoder who owns Model-Ts that will run over 50 MPH and he probably averages driving over 25,000 miles a year. I am facebook friends with Dean, and he will often write of his daily travels in his Model-T where he drove over 300 miles in a day with speeds as fast as hi-50s mph!

Since I am on an iPad this morning, I can't upload more than one image, but here is his 2015 log of trips with his T.

That's very brave, considering I've only pushed my '28 to 50 mph and got too nervous when I thought about having to get her to a safe stop..... very Brave!!

I don't know if it is as much considered brave, or whether it is confidence. If you have a vehicle that you have first-hand knowledge of ALL mechanical part's condition, I think that influences the fear factor. On the other hand, 'fear' is often what keeps us safe!
