Only hiccup I heard was Wayne saying his competition was driving an "early thirties" T roadster.

And just how does "early thirties model A flathead V8 roadster" translate to what you thought you heard?
Maybe time to clean the ears.

He did say "A" roadster instead of "T", but hey, its Hollywood. Or was it New Jersey.? Some day I would like to go see this. But driving my 59AB, 27 roadster that far? Ouch.

ZZLegend.... Stay tuned. We are hearing rumblings of a Pismo Beach event in the near future. That you could drive your 27 roadster to, or even participate in racing...

Funny! If you don't watch the show, how do you know it's "always" all about Wayne?

All these car reality shows are the same formula. Here is the fantastic project for the week, how great a thing we will do, oh my goodness will we meet our deadline/price. etc. If they are so great, why is it always a manufactured crisis each show?

All you need to do is see the trailers. No magic there dude.

Hi Everyone, I had it on the DVR. When the guys are racing, I think it was the second pass, there's a closeup of the car Wayne was driving as it is pulling up to the staging area, and it showed the hubcap! I stopped and rewound a little. It sure looked like this one... I'm kicking myself for not snapping a photo. Wait, I remember better now, his had the V8 not the Ford Script.

As discussed in this thread. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showth...5987&showall=1

I found the '65 Volvo with just 4 miles on it to be more interesting....
