Default Evening Drive Video

Some video shot on the recent evening drive to town in the 52 Merc. Unfortunately I didn't get any "in town" shots so guess I'll have to make another trip for those. :-)

Thanks Ralph. that was most enjoyable. I don't think you could get a bigger contrast between your and mine drive from home videos. Only the flatty V8 is common. The big car just soaks up those unpaved roads.

Hi Mart. I'm actually a little envious of your smooth pavement drives but I'd be lost when I came to one of those "roundabouts" you drive through. All I had to watch out for here was wildlife.

Thanks for the ride, too bad about the lost footage, that's always frustrating. I had my 49 F1 and was going to record my trip but forgot to charge it.
I love to see the sites and sounds.

Thats a nice little red truck Art. It would be an F47 here in Canada. Have you done any videos of it?

Very nice Art. You have a real nice couple of Fords there. And workshop too. Nice change looking through a windshield that isn't pitted and stone chipped like most of mine.

Thanks Ralph, I wish more on the Barn would post videos. I think my favorite video of Mart's is the hill climb with his A-V8 roadster.

Ralph,
Thanks for taking us along in your Merc. Those dirt roads were icing on the cake!
