JM, I drove past Warminster last weekend - I had been to collect a Harley engine, about 150 miles by motorway, and was coming back home by the scenic, cross-country route It is about 850 miles by road from Land's End at the south-western tip of England, to John O'Groats at the top of Scotland. |

Re: Auto-train and older cars
Rem, so, when you said "over here", what you really meant to say was "Over There?"
OK, gotcha.

Re: Auto-train and older cars
Have wifi again. The bash was a blast and I would use the auto train service again. Met great Barners from VA and NC. Got to Charlston SC Tuesday night. Plan to leave there Thursday. The 53 is running like a top. No serious issues yet.

Re: Auto-train and older cars
John, glad you (and I think everyone else) enjoyed the weekend, I sure had a good time, even when the '39 got "vapor lock" twice! Hope to see you soon. Vic

Re: Auto-train and older cars
Vic,
We eat at the Pink House and Tubby's in Savannah. Like you said, "No bad meals". Had the Steamed Shrimp Bowl at the Crab House in Charleston today. All is good. The vapor lock situation has to be something else since we all know there is no such thing with a flathead. LOL John, Your going to have to let Olivia stretch her legs again in the north east. |

Re: Auto-train and older cars
Brad, Are you posting on an actual experience or just guessing? We had a couple at the Barners picnic that shipped their Ford on the auto train (51 sedan delivery, standard shift). No problems at all. Please reply with actual experiences you know of. Now, when I was messing with Fords in my teens, I had a pimply face. I guess that's not good?

Re: Auto-train and older cars
A perfect response. How do you expect the young guys to gain experiance with an old car if they can't have some seat time? Even if they don't know what to do they really can't do any real harm in a low speed situation.

Re: Auto-train and older cars
A Bash in Savannah could be fun. Eating, drinking, no driving while drinking. Lots of photo ops. Just stay off River St. unless you want to spend a bunch of time tightening fasteners and quieting squeaks. It's about 3/4 of a mile of rough cobble stone.

Re: Auto-train and older cars
I taped instructions on shuting down and starting the 39 P/U on the dash like Lawrie and had no problem. G.M.
