I got to do a fun thing today. Another fellow in my model airplane Club owns 29 Phaeton and him and I both brought our cars out today while we were doing field maintenance. We exchanged keys and each drove each other's car around for a bit!

I've never driven a Coupe but I've done lots of miles in a Phaeton, in fact, we leave in a few minutes for the Model A National meet. Will be away for about 2 months by the time we do some sight seeing and about 7,000 miles, I expect. Will be towing a camper behind the Phaeton again. Depending on coverage out there, we might even post a blog on the trip, if anybody is interested.

Love to hear it!

My coupe is a little tired, but his 29 is a fresh new restore so it made for a nice comparison.

We'll be at the Napier rally April. Maybe we can arch up then.

We have been keeping a brief journal but having no luck uploading pictures. I think access to the we is too slow out here so we will post a link when things are better. I'll start a new thread for those interested. Just arrived in Katherine after covering 2,800 miles. Too hot for me!!!
