Re: Marco Tahtaras

Sorry to hear that. I spoke to him at a couple of MARC meets. I knew him by reputation, but not personally.

Re: Best riding A?

My 30 town sedan rides like a luxury car relatively speaking. My 28 roadster bounces all over the road like a buckboard. Both have radials and recently rebuilt shocks by the late Robert Paul.

Re: Water in gas

Terrific end to the story. And you got some quality time with your great grandson! Everyone's a winner in that scenario.

Re: Cash Value/Sale History of Red Grow's "Betsy"?

Given the car's historical significance, I am surprised that MAFFI isn't keeping it for display purposes. I know they are out of room, but they are building more space.

Re: Town Car

I think they were sold in Lincoln showrooms, hence the fact that one was in a Lincoln showroom. I suspect that someone shopping for a car in a Lincoln showroom would not be too interested in a Model...

Re: Klein Tools

Confirming the problems with digital multimeters. Buy an analog if you can find one. I have an old Radio Shack model that I use.

Re: Donovan 4 Cylinder

I just looked on Ebay for horoscope cameras. None for $10, but you can get semi rigid or soft wire. What do folks recommend buying?

Re: "Custom" Dual exhaust/Iron Trap Garage

I love that car. Quite a backstory. I don't always like what they do to the cars, but they are a real asset to the hobby and are saving a lot of cars. I am also inspired by their videos.

Re: Bizzare headlight lens

There were many "improved" aftermarket headlight lenses available - probably hundreds. This is one of them.

Re: OT trip to England

We went to the UK a couple of years ago. It was nice weather, so that played a part. We loved London. There is a lot to do and see there. Also visited Stonehenge, the Cotwolds, Stratford on Avon,...

Re: Leg Room Question

I am 6'2" and 200 lbs and drive my 28 roadster and 30 town sedan everywhere all the time. A little tight getting in and out but driving is fine.

Re: Bad Inner Tubes/Ruined Tires or Tubeless

I was using Coker radial tubes and had failures in one tube and determined that given what the failure looked like, that it was the label inside the tire that caused the problem. With Coker's tubes,...

Re: Gauges, Meaningful Ones

Re: Radial Or Bias Ply Tires

I bought some flaps for my Excelsior radials for my 30 TS a few years ago. No way I could get the flaps inside the tires, so I left them out and returned them. No problems in four or five years....
