Default Re: looking for Model A club

TomInCologne,


Thank you for the contact. At present I am thinking Spring '24 before I trust my new toy enough to travel as far as the Ruhrgebiet. I am just doing some local 50 km trips through the Pfälzer villages and down to Wissembourg at present to learn the trick of double clutch down-shifting. I have set myself the goal of driving it to Epernay (325 km) in March '24. At this point that seems too far to drive in one day...probably an 8-9 hour drive through every tiny village in Alsace and Ardenne.



I have owned the 1930 Model A Tudor (with three doors) for only one month and spent some time sorting the engine out to get it to run smoothly...well...comparatively smoothly. Next step is to sort out the wiring for the lighting which seems to have a few 'elwedtritsche' running around making the wrong lights come on and the right ones not.



Cheers
