First problem solved!! :o

Great video!

I don't need much of an excuse to re-examine these photos of the overloaded farm vehicles from the dustbowl migration (although I think the Hudson ones are recreated for the Grapes of Wrath movie). I wonder what sort of hitches they used for their trailers? Home-built is my guess.

I think the Keely trailer has been discussed here before. Great pair!! That coupe is set up for heavy duty towing, isn't it?

Looking at the patent for the Buciak shocks, I was interested to note that the only country external to USA where these were patented was Australia. I wonder why?

Here's mine. It was there when I got the car. It's bolted up under the rear cross-member and also attached to the spreader bar via U-clamps. I've used it on a number of occasions to tow a 6' x 4' wooden trailer full of garden waste to the dump, but no long journeys. I do have aspirations of...

If you have Paint (which I think is standard with Windows?), you can also open your photo in Paint, and then it's a simple process to resize it using the Resize icon in the menu at the top. You can even see the file size at the bottom of your screen and if necessary you can resize several times...

What sort of weight are you talking about here?

Luv ya work!

The description for this item specifically states that it's not intended for trailer towing.

Well, that was resolved much easier than the "oil" question!!

When I was growing up in the 1960s, my dad drove British Austins with no heater. We added aftermarket electric demisters to the windscreen. They were held on with suction cups and were basically just a heat source that caused the condensation on the screen to evaporate. I wonder if they're...

This is the replacement lacing on my June '28 survivor phaeton. I replaced the original lacing a few years ago (it was falling apart), following the method of fixing (rivets) that was used on the original lacing that I was replacing. I trimmed the bottom of the lacing flush with the bottom of...

It's nine years since the previous post on this thread. So, Tom, how did you go returning your Model A's to original paint? Any success and/or horror stories that might guide others faced with the same scenario?

Brendan, if you're up for a drive, Norm McCullagh does all the babbit work around this part of the world (Warrnambool). They're getting harder to find. https://www.nmengine.com/home Cheers, Martin

I reckon the use of earbuds while driving is a safety issue due to decreased awareness of external sounds. I wouldn't go down that path.

My '28 phaeton has to earn its keep, too.

Mail in Australia is also suffering from huge delays, due to the massive increase in the use of parcel post as a result of COVID-19. Australia Post is about to employ an extra 600 staff and set up 6 new sorting/distribution centres. I'm not complaining. Who knew this was coming?

Verdirick, if you do Facebook, there’s a group called “Model A Modified”. One of the members recently posted a photo of twin Zenith B carbs hooked up via a Vortex intake manifold. His name is Eddie Pond. Could be a starting point? Good luck!

Another scary video that I just came across shows what it's like to be caught in the firestorms created by these fires - this one at Currowan. https://www.facebook.com/abccanberra/videos/220355082310172/UzpfSTU5NzExNTMyMTI0OjEwMTU4Mzg5MDEyNjUyMTI1/
