Nahh that does not work i tried that, even if you do have money, even in rich neighborhoods where money would not be as intimidating.

Where would the right places be? i might get the A going again if i had anywhere to drive it.

Rent? I prefer to just borrow the seat warmers. These pictures are from a photo shoot last year. As a photographer, if my car gets used so does my camera. No money trades hands. The models get good photos for there portfolio and so do I.

Smile Re: Joys of model A ownership!

Much of the joy of ownership of a Model A Ford is in the camaraderie that it comes with it.
As a contrast, when my wife and I walked into a Corvette Club meeting at a restaurant in East Texas, we were greeted with stares, as in, “ what the hell are you doing in here?”I asked, “ is this the Corvette Club meeting?”The response was a simple monotone, Yes.Since the room was filled, I asked if I could bring in another table, the answer was a monotone, No.We left.
When we first attended a meeting of the Dallas Model A Club, we were greeted by several members before we could get inside.Inside, even more members came over to introduce themselves and ask us about our cars.What a contrast!
Sadly, I feel the same contrast between the attitudes in the Corvette forum and the Model A forum.
Thanks to all who have offered help when requested, with no tones of snobbery, or snide put downs.

No metal in that one. That's funny though. I never thought Bond, but now I want to find a sleek Euro car to use with that outfit. I could turn her into a Bond Girl. If you look in the background, I know its hard to even see the car!! I shot these at a carnival. Most of the pictures had a "Circus" theme. She was our "ringmaster".

Let keep this thread on topic!!!
The Ringmaster relaxing after a Tiger taming session!!
