Default Morning out in the A
My son came over this morning to borrow the A, he needed to do some video work out in the sticks outside town
We had a great morning taking pics of the new huge solar farms.
Best of all was the drive in the A
After stopped for a coffee and toasted sandwich at Mt Larcom

Nice pictures. If you belong to MAFCA, submit your pictures to the "Out and About in Our Model A's" section and your car may be in The Restorer Magazine.

No , I only belong to the Queensland model A club.
I had a good find being in the passenger seat, my A has a lot of wind noise ,so being able to get my arm outside and feel around, finding the top hinge on the left hand door is noisy with the wind, but most noise comes from the top left corner of the cab.'
So at least now I have somewhere to look for it.

Thanks for sharing!! really enjoyed your middle pix! View from driver's seat, driving. reminded me of a drive I took just a few years ago. An old gent was nearing his time and so my friend had gone to buy his 1930 Model A pickup. And since i had tagged along, he needed it driven to his place once deal wrapped up. and i still have the memory of the drive, a good hour or so... 'fresh' in my mind. Your pix is 'the view' I had!

Now both my friend and the seller gone. But the Model A pickup still is in his vintage car shop/garage!

Whats great about all 3 picures is that they all look like they were taken in the 30's.

That picture is taken from the passenger's seat!
