My first turn at driving was on a Fordson tractor on the farm in Kansas. My first turn behind the wheel of a car was a 51 Mercury. My last ride will hopefully be behind a flathead powered machine. If it aint broke don't fix it. I work on helicopters for a living and they only change something when something else better comes along which is about every 30 years. My old 29 model A sport coupe is craving somethin besides a 40 horse banger and a 255 merc will be just the ticket. If I have any better ideas than Henry had I'll let you all know.
Welcome from Amarillo where abouts in Kansas did ya learn to drive? I'm originally from Scott City Vance
I'm from a town just west of Garden City called Lakin. I just went through Scott City about a month ago. I was up visiting relatives and went up to Colby so the kids could visit friends up there then came back through Scott City. I used to go to Lake Scott for Boy Scout camps. I've been in San Antonio for just over 21 years now but still get up that way now and then. I also go through Amarillo now and then. I have a few friends up there.
I know exactly where Lakin is, we used to kick your**** in High School Football!! They are having a rod run in Scott City next weekend, I'm taking my Coupe up, are ya interested? I'll prolly leave Friday evening after work. I could tell you some stories about Lake Scott State Park!!! Mom still lives there, I get up there about 2-3 times a year. If you get up around Amarillo, let me know, we'll hafta drink a beer or 6. there are a few other hambers from around here too, maybe we could coerce them into a few. Vance
