THIS YEAR THINGS ARE DIFFERENT. UNFORTUNATELY.
Autumn is here, you readers in America know it as fall. Hot days are gone and we now have warm weather. It’s the time of year when vintage cars, trucks and tractors have meetings and rallies. But not this year because of cv19. Like many other countries we are confined to home unless we have reason to leave.
Patsy and I commiserate with those who live in an apartment or house without a garden. We live in a town of only 2,000 in a rural community and thus have space around us. We have a 1-acre yard, mostly garden so that occupies our days. This is not luck but by design. But never the less we are in lockdown. Because we all are confined, I am receiving many more emails, mostly funnies and interesting items of history or noteworthy events or people. One I think you all will be interested to see is of an electrical/mechanical rail line switch in Japan. Whilst it is ingenious it is frightening. The link is below.
I have my Model A ute here at home and want to drive 12 miles north to garage in my hanger, move my Holden 20 miles to a care taker and bring my tourer home here. To drive them on the road would attract the attention of the Highway police and risk a possible fine for failure to observe lockdown requirements.
I have 4 vintages and wish I had only 1. Next story will tell you why I have 4.
this video link below is not as fast as I first received it on email but never the less worth watching to the end.
