Hey Guys,
Today instead of hopping into the 31 truck, I decided to take the 1917 model t truck to town to run some errands. Theres something about a fall day that seem to make the T run like a watch. I don't know what it is but when I drive the T, It seems that I am more focused and everyday problems are forgotten. My head fills with thoughts of my dad, who passed a couple of years back, and how he taught me to love old cars and how he would have loved to take that drive with me today, with the leaves turning and a crisp fall breeze blowing...I miss him. Here's a picture of him when I first pulled the truck home....this is a couple of months before we lost him to cancer.....Sadly, he never got to hear it run....my brother and I got it on the road about a month after he died.

Rob - Not to put too fine a point on it, but I dare say that your Dad WAS there, enjoying the ride and your company. My condolences on your loss, but everytime I fire up one of my antiques, I hear my Dad whispering...........
