I learned to drive Model Ts when I was a teenager. I didn't drive one again until 1973. (I was 43.) This is when I bought my first T. It was a real rust bucket but I was so proud of it. I drive my 1926 Touring car most of the time. I have driven it up and down the Natchez Trace five times and this year will be our 10th T Party drive.

My next car was a 1923 Express Wagon. I built it from parts that I bought at swap meets. I have driven it quite a bit but not out of town. I built it in 1997.

My next car was our 1923 Roadster. It is a great car but I don't drive it much. I bought and restored it (another rust bucket) in 2001.

My next car is a 1925 Depot Hack. I built it from parts from swap meets. I finished it in 2006.

In between some of those cars, I built my camper. I love to pull it and set it up at night and camp.
