Going to be the trip of a lifetime for me! I will be travelling with "johnny" from the Barn on Tuesday next week. He is driving his 38 Merc convertable and asked me if I could drive his 46 Ford Woodie! After I caught my breath I said of course. Don't know what the parking situation is at the event or the host hotel but his wagon is maroon and has Ontario plates. I wood be wearing my distinctive FORBARN T-shirt but it shrunk in the washer. What about a t-shirt or a quality ballcap so we could recognize fellow barners. Vic has done it for the Cigar City Flathead people. You seeing this Aministrator Ryan?

Heading out Monday, looks like the weather is going to be nice, now if the crazy drivers are at work it should be a nice trip.

Michigan is loaded with crazy drivers. It might be a toss-up with New York. Have a safe trip.

We are on our way, unfortunately without our ’34 roadster (trailer problems). Spent all day yesterday in Auburn visiting the early V8 Ford and ACD museums. Am returning today for the Ford museum picnic. Here are some pictures that my wife took.

We are heading west to Dearborn tomorrow morning. Driving our 32 DeLuxe Coupe on it’s maiden voyage. Meeting up with Johnny and the two Bills near London, Ontario. Looking forward to meeting and making friends! Ted & Kathy

I can agree with this. Been in the Detroit area my whole life, and wore out my middle finger a long time ago.

I don't know. In Minnesota, 90% of the drivers "camp out" in the fast lane on multi-lane roads.When I leave for Florida in the fall, I can tell when I hit Iowa, not by the signs or anything, but by the lack of slow cars in the fast lane. When I go through other states and run into a jam-up on the interstate in the middle of nowhere, the car causing it usually has Minnesota plates when I finally clear it.

I believe Michigan passed a law that the left lane on expressways is for passing only, and not cruising at a steady speed. Doesn't mean the left lane won't be loaded with slow pokes.
