52 Mercury
Had the 52 Merc on paved highway for the first time since 1969 last weekend. Nice change from gravel roads and dust.

Re: 52 Mercury
Hi Everyone, Ralph, that makes me wanna abandon this rat-race hell-hole county I reside in and relocate! Good fun had by all! I really enjoy your camera work. And thanks for not including music, the sounds were just perfect.
I'm gonna be sad if you ever change the windshield. I love it the way it is! For others, have a look at Raplph's list of YouTube videos. It's in his signature, but I'll include it here. https://www.youtube.com/user/roosty6/videos

Re: 52 Mercury
Thanks for the ride Ralph, my Dad has a '53 Mercomatic, Dad and Mom rode in the front and us four kids rode in the back, he towed a '14 rowboat that we water skied behind, it had a 12 horse West Bend outboard on it. Those were the days.

That pitted and cracked windshield is the same one my dad looked through as he drove us kids around in the 1960s so I guess it has sentimental value as well.

Re: 52 Mercury
I envy you having a small-town venue like that! Yet enough people for a good turnout. Great video, thanks for posting!

Re: 52 Mercury
Ralph
As always you provide better entertainment than the telly. But have to admit, I was hoping to see some helicopter shots talem just ahead of the mudders. Is there Canadian problem regulations about it's use? I noted your rear view mirror was removed for the rear seat filming. Removal certainly makes for a better video. |

No, I did not remove the rear view mirror. Maybe it just did not show up.
