Hi,
Yesterday I took part in a local Easter car show and parade. The rain and fog broke early in the morning making for a great but humid day.
This was the M923's first "action" of the year after being in hibernation for a portion of the winter. It was also the first time it was used to tow my equipment trailer. It pulled it's load with ease. For the first time I was able to back this trailer up using the luxury of power steering! What a difference haha. I squirrel it away pretty tight so the power steering offered some much needed relief after the days activities.
I had a great time operating the M20 scout car in our convoy to and from the show/parade. With the abundance of cell phone cameras it really makes for a dangerous situation out on the roads, haha. Lacking the added weight of the 37mm and turret of the M8, the M20 really gets up and goes.
There weren't as many cars due to the threats of rain but still a good showing of about 200 cars. I've attached some pictures of some of the unique models you don't usually see instead of Corvette Indy Pace cars, Camaros, Mustangs, blah, blah, blah...... The blue touring car is a 1910 White. The black "telephone booth on wheels" is an unrestored 1910 Baker Electric. Also included is a 1902-03 curved dash Oldsmobile, and the actual Lois Lane Nash Ambassador Landau from the TV show. Some pretty neat stuff...
Ok enjoy the pics!
