Report November 7th.
Edit by Trudy.

In the morning we go back to Jack and Maryline Putnam’s house, because our Model T had spend the night in their garage between Jack’s beautiful Model T’s.
Jack tells Dirk about the restoration of his 1911 Runabout.

On the Model T’s are several special parts.

Dirk saw some old chairs and asked Jack if these are for a new Model T project.

After visiting the garage we drink coffee and Maryline gave us a plate with home made cookies.

We continue our tour on secondary roads. The wind is rather cold but the sun is shining and the Model T likes this kind of typical Dutch weather.

Dirk has to do a little bit maintenance when we have a coffee stop.

In Urbana we visited the Model T part shop of Gaslight Auto Parts.
Dirk need some new spark plugs and gets them for free as a donation for our tour.

Because the fuel in the spare can is rather old, we think from Texas last May, Dirk put it in the fuel tank.

So we ended up the day with a nice low-standing sun and old fuel.
