Model A Driving Game

[CWilson]

I am a member of another forum for motorcycles, and we play a game that is really fun, and gets people out on the road with their vehicles. Some of you might have played it before.

A member drives their Model A to a "point of interest" and takes a picture of the "point of interest" with their Model A in the foreground. It can be anything , like a windmill, McDonalds, parts store, bridge, etc. That person then posts that picture, and its a "race" for all the members to find a similar "point of interest, and take a picture with their Model A and post it. The first one to post a picture of what has been tagged, gets to announce the next POI, and so it goes on and on and on. It's actually quite fun because you get to see places where other people live, and their Model A's.

Anyone up for this? All pictures posted must be current. (no cheating) I'd start with a picture, but I'm under repair right now.

[StoolBus]

I'd be up for this!

Then you were not in Fort Lauderdale! After a 15 day cruise our ship landed in Fort Lauderdale where we sat out around the pool with sweat pants and jackets. The weather was indeed a disappointment.

[jimalabam]

Great Idea, and I intend to pass along to my local club Tour/Activity Team Leader, as well as play the game here. THANKS...

[CWilson]

Barn and red star. Booyah.

CW.. Your CCPU..

Washington Blue; Light Washington Blue; Rock Moss Green or Blue Rock Green?

[CWilson]

I can't get an answer from the knowledgeable guys on here. I've tried looking at color samples on the Model A sites and it's too hard to tell from a computer. Only thing I have is the PPG color code.

[CWilson]

Nice! What's the next tag? Need another pic.

[Garagekulture13]

Here is the next. A body of water.

[Tiny]

Lake Shasta in the background

[Tiny]

In the snow?

[CWilson]

Dang, you got snow today?

[Tiny]

LOL !! You caught me. The pictures a few years old.

What's next Carl?

[CarlG]

I guess I'm not up on the rules of the more complicated games. Am I suppose to call the next picture?

[Garagekulture13]

Yes Carl take a picture of your car or truck by the next thing someone will have to find and post it.

Mexican Restaurant

[CWilson]

You guys better hurry up, I'm going to get that one tomorrow!

[Tiny]

Sorry my tanks full. No need for Gas

[Garagekulture13]

Mexican restaurant!

[Garagekulture13]

Next tag is historic church. Sorry for the poor quality of pictures but it's the best I could get tonight. It was fun running the back country roads of Tennessee in the night. The sign reads Church of Christ Est. 1837 Rock Spring.

[CWilson]

I though it a little funny that the tag was " a Mexican restaurant" and you found THE MEXICAN RESTAURANT!!

To find an old church may take me outside of my 20 mile comfort zone!

Also, thats a good looking ride!

[CWilson]

Old Church


New tag, anything train related.

[Garagekulture13]

I saw the other post and new tag for Taco Bell and then it was gone. Anyone else not seeing it?

[31 Model A]

Can't wait to join in..........I loved the smell of Model A's in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seeing them too!!!

Yes, It was there, and then gone. I wondered if I was losing my mind. P.S. sent in pictures of an old train depot, then a Taco Bell.

[Garagekulture13]

I actually went to Taco Bell and was ready to post and saw that the tag was gone. Oh well.

Mitch the game never really ends. Now someone has to take a picture of the Model A in front of a covered bridge. The first person to do so gets to pick the next tag.

Are you wanting to kill it?

If it goes a few days without anybody getting it, maybe you can change it to just a bridge...

Okay we will see... Covered bridges are rare and non existent in many parts

[CWilson]

I searched on google, and I guess there is one about 7 miles from my house that I didn't even know about. I'll try and get to it tomorrow.

This situation with a covered bridge and the availability brings forth a question....PHOTOSHOP???? I have a few photos of the Bridges of Madison County but Sarah wasn't along, five of my other babes were. What's the rules on PS???????????????????

[CWilson]

Next tag is any National Flag.

[31 Model A]

[31 Model A]

[31 Model A]

Let me reiterate the rules. All pictures must be new! The idea is to get out on the road! No photoshop. You can't reuse a tag. Once something has been tagged, it's done. If the tag goes longer than a week, the original tagger can broaden the tag. (example; going from a covered bridge, to a bridge).

Visible Gas Pump is the current tag. (grandfathered in before rules clarification)

Just kidding, It's still a visible gas pump. Just bumping the thread.

Go ahead and set another tag, I'm still waiting on Sarah, I'll catch up with everyone a bit later.

I'm sure someone can take a photo of their A with a pump. I can probably get one this weekend.

[Not George]

[CWilson]

Tag has been changed to "any gas pump". That should be generic enough to get things moving.

I looked everywhere for a visible gas pump and couldn't find one.

Next tag, your Model A parked by a Studebaker or old Studebaker dealership.

Tom you have to post the pic of the A next to the studebaker

I will accept that, (because no one could find one),but you need a photo from today to make the next tag.

Make sure it's not too hard.

[ronn]

Use Larrys car


and lay rubber!

[Garagekulture13]

The object of the game is not to see how hard we can make it on the next guy. It simply is a game to get you off the couch and into your Model A. Searching through your photos from a past event ( although some pictures are cool) is not the point. So with that said get off the computer or phone and let's get these Fords on the roads. Have fun and let's keep the tags fair so this game can be enjoyed by everyone.

This area used to be a local farm, but was bought by a developer. There were multiple silos on the property that were kept, painted, and designed into the development.

Smart developer...IMO.

I will be using Sarah, off to do some Hickory Golf this Monday too. I missed the 1st Annual Hickory Golf Day, 1 May. I've been so cooped up in this village, I'm about read to burn the whole place down.

[Tiny]

How about next to your best friends A in front of his house?

Next up, in front of an abandoned garage.

[31 Model A]

Bump.....now before it gets lost again. Finding things when you get old can be daunting especially things that have shrunk from old age. I've an old garage just down the street, be back shortly.

[31 Model A]

Next game bit is............

Log structure......

It's the only business structure left in town and I wanted to by it and turn it into my Texaco Station but....it floods almost every year. Hasn't been a garage for years now.

I like the garage with gun slits in the roof......to keep the enemy at bay.

And that's the first time I've seen a log corn crib, but you'll have to fill in the windows.

Actually Tom, that's the Shaw Homestead and the founder of this village. He was a frontiersman/riverboat captain and also that house was a Mississippi River boat stop.
It's being restored by a friend of mine. A couple of years ago, it couldn't be seen from the road that passes just in front it was that over grown. It has a double chimney.

We have log cabins all over this county and mostly still lived in.

Something Patriotic (Very broad and open to individual interpretation)

Not fair it was changed to "any pump". I found a Texaco!!!!!

I have come to the conclusion that most people do not drive their A's, or they do not know how to operate the camera on their phones. Maybe both. Either way, this thread is... DEAD.

I just found thread last night

Maybe then the thread needs bumped more often or....maybe the subject can become a foundation for a Special Group... what say you Charlie, you started the idea?

[CWilson]

I'd say with almost 7,000 views people enjoy following the thread, so I say leave it where its at. The tag is something "patriotic", or someone can start a new one to get it going again. I only drive on the weekends now because I'm not a fan of driving to and from work in the dark. Rules again are...

1) only new pics
2) take a picture of the "tag" with your pre 1975 vehicle in it. (this may broaden peoples ability to play)
3) Take a picture of your chosen "tag" with your pre 1975 vehicle in the pic.
4) Post both

Where did I get the name 'Charlie' at???? Who knows!!!!

Chris, even though Sarah will be heading to Larry's soon, I won't participate further if this is extended outside the Model A family. I want to see Model A's in the photos, even it's the same Model A over and over again, the background will change and the location will have an interest too.

I know, "Charlie Wilson's War"............

[1930-fordor]

Great!
Now I just need to figure out how to post pics

[31 Model A]

Go to the paper clip, click on it and it will take you to browse your photo file, click on the photo you want to load and then click submit reply.

The tail markings on that plane were the same tail markings on the C-46 I jumped out of at Normandy but that's a C-47 from the 50s.

[1930-fordor]

you are correct, I can't remember the info sheet that was on the plane. but it spent it's life as a cargo plane in different parts of the world.
my grand paw made that same jump.
