National Drive Your V-8 Day, 6/18/22 !!
The annual Early Ford V-8 Day, posted National but I know there are enough members to be International. I plan on driving to work Saturday morning and maybe an afternoon drive for lunch or dinner? Here's the link and hope people post photos like I intend to do. Weather in Wisconsin looks great for this, Father's Day on Sunday, a great Prelude to that. GaryU.

Nothern Illinois Regional Group has organized a local tour for this day, the Drive Your V8 Day. We will try to get some pics posted afterward. Everybody likes to see pretty pictures of old Fords.

I'm celebrating my 80th birthday on Saturday with an informal gathering with a bunch of friends, both old and new. I'll be driving my '51 the entire day.
(It's going to be in the high 90's here in North Central Minnesota; I'm sure glad the cooling system is up to snuff!) |

I'll be driving my 40 to the Klingberg Car show (30th year) tomorrow here in New Britain. Great show.

Rain forecast for “dreary” Washington state. May sneak the convertible to the lighthouse before the rain!

I'll be sure to give one of my V8s a run tomorrow to tick the international box.

I feel bad, my 33 will sit on the grass out the back of the pub 1000 miles from home, but I think it’s ok as it got me out here in the last few weeks

I try to drive my '39 p/u with an 8ba almost every day unless its raining. And lately in SoCal that means everyday. Anyway, old Rusty and I will be off to Lug Nuts and Donuts at Karen's Donuts in Mentone Beach first thing tomorrow morning.

Sat 6/18/22
National Drive Your V-8 Day Once again, a great day to get out and enjoy your Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, Ford truck, or even your Ford Tractor. Enjoy by yourself or with a group, but this day has been selected to be National Drive Your V-8 Day. Always the third Saturday in June. Don't forget you camera for photos of your adventure.

Re: National Drive Your V-8 Day, 6/18/22 !!
It's winter downunder...today [18th] took the 35 for a drive to the next town, a round trip of only about 50 miles. It was fine when I left, started to rain about 2 miles down the road, it got heavier and heavier the further I drove. Called in at my mates Engineering workshop, did a quick job on his lathe, it pissed down the whole time. I left to go home, it was bucketing down. Blow me down, the closer to home I got, the clearer the weather became. Got home, the roads were still bone dry! Weird weather! But I drove my V8 on your national V8 day, possibly the first V8er to do so on account of us Kiwis leading the International time zones.
