I ended up with a broken throttle return spring. Thankfully, Bratton's got me a new one in just a few days and we are back on the road. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! Ken

I had posted this in the Model A forum but neglected to post it to the Model T forum, so here it is. The show at the Beardsley Cider Mill is on again for this year. This is my favorite show all year because it is all our kind of cars. If you are in the southern New England area you want to make...

There is an area for spectators in modern cars to park. For an awesome, pre-car like yours I'm confident you would be welcomed amongst the As & Ts. This is not a snobby group.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Ken

My father is a clock collector. Some of his clocks are quite valuable (although antiques aren't as popular as they were just a few years back). His will is written in very general terms of what happens to his stuff. He took slips of paper, put peoples names on them and stuck them to the back...
