well we cheated and flew there and rented moderns, with 3 other couples. can't do the long distances like I used to (1200 miles, 3 days).
If my wife and I are in there anywhere I did not see us
BUT we went and enjoyed it
We did drive a Ford, however. I asked the rental guy what he had for us, he said a Kia. I choked and said, excuse me we are Texans and we only drive Suburbans or pickups. His face brightened and said he had just what we needed, that no one else wanted, and slid us behind the wheel of a brand new F150.
It was a nice truck but I could not figure out how to disable the stop-start 'feature' which was clearly not one of Ford's 'better ideas'. But it could hit 100 so I could get past the RVs on the highways to Glacier where we went last, which was an all-day trip to get there. A Montana state trooper pinched me for 83 in a 70 and I had to shell out 70 bucks cash on the spot. They call it a 'bond'. It was worth it tho, she was a hot blonde maybe 30Last edited by tbirdtbird; 09-13-2017, 11:20 PM.Comment

Yes it is in central kansas we can go to fort larned one day, we could go to abilene another day visit Ikes presidential library along with many other things too see as well, underground at ellinwood, quivira museum in lyons space center,cosmosphere in Hutch. We could hub tour this out of great bend kansas. Big Brutus is in southeast kansas but i have been there as well. Talking around 150-200 miles per day. All back country roadsBlacktop) little traffic to contend with. 8 is on the money getting out of dallas would be the worst.Comment

That looks like a great trip, Dave. Thanks for posting. I know what you mean about long trips. I'm leading an overnighter next week, 15 cars, only about 100 miles one way each day, with several rest stops, which most everyone requests or requires now. 200 miles a day is just about my personal limit, though some of the "younger" members (50s and 60s) still do 300+ per day. I don't go on those tours. I'd still do a 1000+ mile drive, I would just take it 150 miles per day.Last edited by Ray Horton; 09-14-2017, 11:06 AM.Comment

Corley the Wonderful and I were working on a Thank You Tour for front line people working through the Covid-19 virus. And the I saw Joop's bumper banner, on MAFCA A of the Day. I contacted him & said I intended to copy his. He made his with peel & stick letters and pulled logos off the internet.
Well I took his ideas to Signs & More [a local sign shop] ([email protected]...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

This is random, but I don't know who to contact. I was just wondering if anyone has heard of if there will be another high country tour in the near future? We went to the one in 2009 and it was by far the best tour we've ever been on. We have wanted another one ever since.
We went to the MAFCA National in 2016 which was great- but it wasn't the same thing.
We NEED another...01-09-2019, 07:47 PM -
Our Alaskan A’s just returned from a week long trip to Kodiak, Alaska. We had about 20 vintage cars half were Model A’s. The ferry ride was a nine hour ferry each way. The cars were enclosed in the belly of the ship the whole way.
The folks in Kodiak were so appreciative and they really rolled out the red carpet for us. One member lost a main bearing on the way but his son had him another...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Does anyone know if there is a group going on a long distance tour. Like across the country or to Alaska. Maybe one of the clubs that you could join. 5 to 10 cars would be just right. It would take some organizing with logistics, parts and at least one or two good mechanics. Does anyone else think that sounds fun?12-03-2019, 01:07 PM -
I will preface this by saying that we have the greatest Model Aers in the Diamond Tread chapter of MAFCA!
One of our working members was to have a weeks vacation so one of the others suggests we have an outing to commemorate the vacation. After 2 weeks of intense planning it was finalized and set for Mar 26th. We left from one of the clubs favorite starting spots, Der Weenerschnitzle...You do not have permission to view this gallery.
