The Ford Barn

apbright · 07-22-2016, 05:42 PM

Despite being a pure-bread 3rd generation Texan (with roots traceable back to 1849), I do my best to be a modest fellow. And so, I find myself out of character posting a video about me and my Model A. That said, it was only due to the active, helpful responses I have received on this forum - plus the hundreds (thousands?) of other originators' posts I have read - that allowed me to make it from Finland to Croatia and back this summer.

Happy watching, safe driving, and thank you fellow-Barners.

I feel envious of your trip and was amused by the reaction of bystanders to the A. A greats job of editing and a good watch, thank you.

Jeff/Illinois · 07-22-2016, 06:53 PM

Nice!! Well done!!

Stew Masche · 07-22-2016, 07:23 PM

WOW !! Absolutely beautiful! What a great family experience. Your skills pertaining to video, are a masterpiece!

A person can't help but feel a bit envious.

Ok, EXTREMELY envious!

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks I enjoyed! I got to get one of those unauthorized accessories to be able to make my A soar like yours :-)

That was such an awesome video. Most of those shots made me take a moment to give thanks to God for giving us such a beautiful earth to enjoy. I may physically never visit that part of the world but at least I can say My eyes have seen the beauty there thanks to your video.

Great scenery and to be able to see it from a Model A makes it even better. Thanks for posting the video.

dont worry about modesty, we have two or three Barners that do everything possible to exploit themselves whenever possible. Wayne.

Beautifully done!

thanks for sharing..............

inex01 · 07-23-2016, 04:05 AM

Great video!

Nabco · 07-23-2016, 05:16 AM

Awesome vide, very well done!!

C26Pinelake · 07-23-2016, 07:19 AM

Lots of pretty people and great scenery but very little Model A. Wayne

JohnLaVoy · 07-23-2016, 09:22 AM

Nicely done! I was in Croatia in the Fall and met a guy that wanted to buy a Model A so the hobby could be growing over there!

vern hodgson · 07-23-2016, 10:40 AM

I drove Croatia two years ago, but in an A, what an experience. Fantastic video

BILL WILLIAMSON · 07-23-2016, 11:01 AM

MARVELOUS VIDEO!!! Were a few shots taken from the rumble seat?
I see they drive on the R/H side of the road. I once had a R/H drive, '39 M.G, Tickford & it was a challenge, to learn to drive it on the R/H side of the road! L/H shifting was VERY AWKWARD!

Thanks all for your gracious Kudus.

Indeed, if you have to live in Europe, Croatia makes for great Model A driving. Beautiful mountain and coastal roads, with reasonable and (unlike France) sane traffic, friendly and interested people; food could be better.

Bill W.: In fact it is a regular L/H drive car; just a bit of video trickery going on with special cameras (gimbal cameras on stick-mounts, if that says anything).

Steve Plucker · 07-23-2016, 05:38 PM

Very nice video!

Who took the "air" shots?

Nicely done.

Wow great trip and video love the shoots from the drone

TexasLS1 · 07-23-2016, 08:26 PM

The guys above said it better than I could.... Awesome video, thank you for sharing! It is perfectly done, and excellent choice in music. You deserve to gloat a bit because of this one!

Great Lakes Greg · 07-24-2016, 01:36 PM

Great vid, and you have a lovely family. It's a trip they will always remember.
