Another One Bites the Dust....

My 1928 Ford Model A Speedster is gone.  Sold.  Off to a new owner, to pamper and care for it....


Here's a highlight from the description on eBay:

"The car handles great and is a blast to drive.  The best description I can give you is driving this car is like flying a WWI Sopwith Camel or Fokker.  The wind in your face, the sound of the engine, the smells wafting by as you scramble down the road…..  AWESOME! You’ll feel like Mr. Toad of Toad Hall. 

I have rallied this car since 2010 in the following events:  2010 VCRA Ruffneck; 2010 Sugar Valley Rally (2nd in class; 2nd overall!); 2011 VCRA All Stars; and 2011 Great Race (2nd in class; 14th overall).  It has been a VERY reliable car – we’ve never had a DNS or DNF (Did-Not-Start-Finish).  The car starts every time and runs cool.  Engine temp is normally 160-190 and overheating has never been an issue.  The only problem we’ve ever had on-the-clock was a flat tire.  It took 10 minutes to change.  The worst repair we’ve had to make at night in the hotel parking lot was a bad fuel pump."

Ahhh.  I will miss this one........
