On the Road Again
After a 9-month hibernation due to a couple of valve seats that came loose 600 miles from home, I finally got everything back to gather just in time for our first official outing of the season. Got everything finished up around 8:30 Friday night in time for a 10am Saturday departure. Not a real long trip this time (<50 miles), but enough to put a smile on my face. Mine is the one in the front of the picture below. There were 2 other Model A's in attendance that missed the picture. Also included are our token Chevy, VW, and Chrysler, all a part of our club. Lunch at Garcias was pretty good as well!

Re: On the Road Again
Story behind the rims: I bought a set of nearly new Silvertown tires, and they just happened to come with the rims. I don't think they are exactly apple green, but close. When "my ship comes in" I plan on eventually replacing the tires with 19" radials and will probably put them on the rims in my avatar.
The loosely knit "Alaskan As" has over 100 guys/gals on the list with over 200 vehicles. But that covers the entire state. The local AAMA affiliate has close to 100 members, of course they are not all Model As.

Re: On the Road Again
Liked the picture and the story. Glad to see you're back on the road! My motor is still in the shop being rebuilt. Our club had our first tour a couple weeks ago. I was just a rider.
