Re: How Many 2020 Miles Did You Drive
Probably a hundred or less. But they were fun Country miles. You can cover a lot of roads without racking up many actual miles.

Re: How Many 2020 Miles Did You Drive
3,000 in 2020 - With radial tires a 3sp overdrive, 6:1 head, B cam, intake and carb. Top speed was 67 mph early in the morning on a very smooth highway, with almost no other traffic. It was just a one time thing to see how fast it would go on the GPS wave app.
I regularly drive my car 60 mile round trips to work. It does so well in modern traffic we use it to grocery shop on weekends. Next upgrade will be juice brakes and an F1 steering box. |

Re: How Many 2020 Miles Did You Drive
JNR1967-
modifications you have so far are worthwhile for your purposes, but the juice brakes will be a time/money-consuming disappointment. spend it instead making the mechanicals 100% with cast iron drums if needed. to a lesser extent the steering "upgrade" is not required- make sure youe two-tooth box is 100%, then add teflon ball seats + a short pittman arm..... sometimes less is more.

Re: How Many 2020 Miles Did You Drive
About 1000 on the 'A' each season and a couple thousand on the motorbikes. Then they sit in the barn from Nov til May. I think they try to reproduce each winter.

Re: How Many 2020 Miles Did You Drive
About 400, my first year owning a Model A. Mostly down local country gravel roads with my arm hanging out the window. Very enjoyable the highlight of my summer.

Re: How Many 2020 Miles Did You Drive
Between the 2, only about 4,000 miles. Which had we done all of the activities this year that were originally planned, it should have been way more.

Re: How Many 2020 Miles Did You Drive
About 300 miles with the AA , TuDor and Pickup, The Coupe never left the garage which is about 1/3 of what I usually do. One of the main reasons was the social distancing aspect. The A's are magnets for people and at my age that was one thing I tried to avoid. Went on some picnics with the Grand Kids during the week when most people were working.

Re: How Many 2020 Miles Did You Drive
I only was able to put 400 miles on my Coupe this year. Most of that was around town and two Club tours in the fall. I have gotten a lot of little things done to it. I also got to drive my Victoria a little and worked on it.
