We left Gettysburg and followed Route 30 across Pennsylvania. I never realized how flat it is. NOT! Locked out the overdrive for better braking on the hills. The car seems to be running good. I have a little battery pack I charge at night to run my GPS. Well last night I plugged it into a switched outlet and it did not charge. Gave out in Pittsburgh. Not near. In. thank God for the phone. It also has a GPS. But not easy to use when driving. Well I sniffed my way towards RT 30 and found it via 876. So I was on 30 and 22 and next thing I know there is no 30. The phone says I can get to Canton this way so I ended up with a nice leisurely ride through some nice Ohio farm country with a little excursion into West Virginia to freak me out a little. We visited the Flight 93 memorial and made a few other stops along the way. And for those that may know who he is I happened into the shop of the Machine Gun Preacher. Not the best but I posted a lot of driving pictures to give you a feel of what it is to be in my seat. Visited Flop Custom also and that is where I took the Model A pics. http://s34.photobucket.com/user/frankm3/library/June%205%202013?sort=2&page=1

Frank, thanks for the photos. A "motley" crew of V-8ers! Especially the fellow Irishman driving that old '32. "Aye and thrifty too".

Frank, Thanks for the photos. I was wondering how many times that 32 crossed the country. It seems like Pat has driven it across every few years. Tom

Seems like all V8ers have one thing in common - Handsome! Is it that they're having a Handsome Contest at Tahoe?

Annette & I met the group in Canton OH early evening of Wednesday, June 5. Had dinner with Arel & Barb Brown, Jerry & Cheryl Riechel & Bob & Mary Ann Padavano. Some members had minor problems. Broken shock bracket, lost hub cap but all were in great spirits. This message was edited by c-gor on 6-6-13 @ 10:49 AM

Hi Frank, Thanks very much for your updates and photos. I'm enjoying them very much. I'm reading on facebook, but not posting there. See you in Tahoe to thank you personally! I remember all the good shots you got at Saratoga. -VT/Jeff This message was edited by VeryTangled/JeffH on 6-9-13 @ 10:34 AM
