Re: Oregon to Georgia in a 1930 Standard Tudor
Mike,
I really haven't kept records that will allow me to give you a definitive answer. We've been traveling between 45 and perhaps 50 MPH at times, slower up the hills of course, but stop a lot to keep me from becoming crippled with stiffness. Left Salem, Oregon, a little after noon last Sunday and got to Denver yesterday, Friday, and about 5:30 PM local time. |

Re: Oregon to Georgia in a 1930 Standard Tudor
Finally got to Bert's Model A Center today and it was definitely awe I felt after seeing the scope of their operation.
But what's more amazing is what is happening right now, thanks to employee Joe Wylie, who pointed out some issues with my car. The story isn't over yet so I'll just tease for now. Stay tuned for more regarding the fantastic folks at Bert's. |

Re: Oregon to Georgia in a 1930 Standard Tudor
Hi Slotblog. Very interesting so far. It may be out of your way, but we are about 250 miles south of Tulsa, and 80 miles east of Dallas. Our club is sponsoring a Hillclimb Saturday Nov 8 and a BBQ for Hillclimbers Friday night Nov 7. If schedule permits and you come this way , The club would love to have you as guest Friday night at the BBQ., then participate or watch at the Hillclimb Sat morning. I willl buy your burger/s. ken

Re: Oregon to Georgia in a 1930 Standard Tudor
Ken, just don't think I have the time to do it, as I really need to hold this trip down to three weeks if I can.
Wish that wasn't so, as that sounds like lots of fun and with a free meal to boot. Almost irresistible. |

John S,
Try it now please. I fixed the link and tested it. Posting links from an iPad while sitting in a McDonald's can be a little iffy... LOL! Last edited by Slotblog; 11-02-2014 at 05:30 PM. |
