Re: Car shows
I love going to shows to see my Model A buddies, but I am more of a driver than a shower. At shows people sit on your fenders and stand around wanting to tell you about their muscle car they are...

How many Model A's is the perfect number?
You can only drive one Model A at a time. Two cars are twice as much money to buy, twice as much to insure, take twice as much space to store and take twice as much time and money to keep up. We're...

Re: road speed question
48 mph. I get great mileage and my engine lasts many many miles. Its not just about how fast it will go, its also about how fast it will stop and perform an evasive action if needed.

Re: Trailer for a Model A
Speaking of width-- is 7 wide enough? I guess the advantage of a 7 would be that they pull a little nicer and you can more easily use your rear mirrors to see what's behind you.

Re: What gear ratio do I have?
Thanks Tom. 2250 RPM's = 48 mph. 16 inch wheels. Might be time to look into some higher speed gearing from Snyders. Is there a chart or formula to see how many mph I might gain? I wouldn't mind...
