For your enjoyment

Awesome video Daniel, my wife and I have been to O'ahu 15 times in the last 20 years, we watched it together and saw a lot of very familiar sites....the cars pretty nice too!!!

Daniel,
Fascinating & SUPERB film! I see you know of the trick of advancing the throttle when stopping (danged Zeniths)
You have a side to side wobble in the front wheels, check the wishbone ball for slack & check the nuts that hold the steering arms to the spindles, they're often overlooked. A friend corrected a 45 MPH side wobble, by tightening those 2 nuts. In one shot, looked like the R/F wheel "might" not run true.
I'm a BLESSED Man, a friend just GAVE me 5 (yes five) 21" AR wheels/tires/original hub caps. The Firestone tires have lots of miles left on them, and the wheels are perfectly painted BLACK. My Living Room smells like a Tire Shop! They'll be a neat change from my 16" wires, with brand new Coker Classic Blackwalls.
Vermin is just a plain old '29 Standard 5 Window Coupe, but Me & the Dog love him.

Daniel,
Thanks for sharing your video. You live in a beautiful state and it's great that you take advantage of seeing it in your Model A.
2rosella, you misunderstood what Bill was talking about. He was not refering to advancing the spark, he was refering to using the hand throttle, perhaps to keep the car from stalling as it came to a stop.

Aloha,
It was a thrill for me because I never got the chance to hear sound of the car or see the car drive. So it was great to be able to see it from another point of view and yes I also saw the wheel wobble, strangely enough there are no feedback on the steering. The steering is nice and smooth, I will follow Bill comments and check if anything is loose, but my feeling is the that the rim is not round. Will check when I get the chance.
Thanks for all your comment.

Aloha,
Yes regarding the hand throttle, everytime I get to a stop I add a little throttle and take some out when I drives so I can change gear easier. If the throttle is to high, then engine doesnʻt slow down when I double clutch. Works for me.
 
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing. Fun to see a car driving in a state that wasn't a state when the Model A was manufactured.
 
Great Vid. I've been to your state twice, Oahu and Kauai. Loved it both times! I find with my one coupe, actually both coupes , they want to stall at lights. I think I'll have name them like Bill W. But are they female or male? I'm thinking of Trixie and Connie. One cons me and the other plays tricks on me!
