2021 Mileage

Didn't count accurately but somewhere around 8,000 miles. I can't see that it matters while we are having fun.

If you passed one vehicle last year, that's worth hearing all about it! :)

Actually, my model A's mileage was zero for 2021, but my 28CCPU is getting lots of new parts, elbow grease, and adoring care!

Happy New Year, everybody!

Congrats to all of you!

what you have done is my goal for 2022. Want to clock at least 500 miles this year.....

hopefully more.
 
4800 miles, enjoyed every minute of it. This year I hope to go on a 10 day drive, I don't know where just follow my hood.

Fitz, The vehicle you passed, was it a bicycle, 1961 VW Bus, or 1958 Mercedes 180 Diesel? Or maybe a Yugo?

I'll admit my PicUp is not fast, my last compression check worries me. Now I was so excited, it didn't matter what it was.

You have a wonderful new year plz !!!

I am planning on doing a long distance drive this coming spring, I am of that age where if I don't do it now it will remain on my "I wish I had wish list"
My Questions are;
* Did you do it alone ie. single car
* What sort of spare parts and tools did you take
* Did you take along a MAFCA membership list and did you use it.
* What is your mechanical ability, mine is suspect if none at all.
* WHAT WAS YOUR AVERAGE MILEAGE PER DAY, I know it depends on car / drivers comfort factor ie. sitting for long periods of time
* Did you have any break downs, how easy was it to handle on the road
* What is the best tip you would give someone when starting out on a Model A adventure

A little bit about my car;
* I have 5000 miles on a rebuilt engine with a 5.6 high compression head
* Relatively new rear end, 358
* I choose not to have a synchro mesh transmission, not a purist. I just love double clutching and making a nice smooth shift. I do not have a high low split transmission.
My electrical system is 6 volt with an alternator. I have put close to 20,000 miles in the 5 years I have owned it. Overall I believe the car is in good condition.
Any suggestions, thoughts or must knows i would appreciate.

2021 was the first year of our Model A ownership experience. Actually it arrived Christmas day 2020. I drove it 1250 miles. I figure that isnt too bad for a newbie!
 
When I drove to Dearborne in 2020, I went out with a fellow club member and we decided that we could do 30 miles distance is 1 hour (on secondary roads - no interstates), which included stopping for gas and refreshments. Depending how conformable your car is, this determines how many miles you travel each day (30 mile every hour X number of hours you drive that day).
