I am vintage and classic car enthusiast and used to write articles for Autosaur, well i did one about my uncles Model T ford and the joy and fun of the car and put it into a poem which went like this.

Tin Lizzie

She’s not very fast but she’s from the past, she’s not even one of the last.

Everywhere we go we have a blast…but we won’t get there very fast.

Tin Lizzie, you’re so old, sometimes even cold,
I don’t mind that you’re old but don’t give me the cold.

Oh we have such fun even though you weigh a ton,
We all have so much fun out on our runs.

Tin Lizzie was made in nineteen ten,
may have been made for a Ken or Ben.

All over Scotland we have been, and you always get seen,
At shows and runs we will go…I am always keen.

But oil you have poured…because you’re a Model T Ford.

Good one

Thanks it's ment to be one of those quirky pomes to make you laugh

Nice job.

For years now I've been seriously thinking of dumping my modern, computer controlled, fuel injected, half plastic piece of crap, and trading it in for a nice old fashioned, easy to work on Model T or A.

If you have never drove a model T before it can be a bit difficult if your used to driving a modern car, the pedal setup is completely different to a modern car there is no gas/accelerator pedal. I did an article about the model T on Autosaur.com a few years ago and I put in a section on how to start and drive a model t in that article. hear is link for information on driving the model T https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.autosaur.com/iconic-model-t-ford/amp/

I've done some reading on driving the MT planetary gear set up. If I remember right one pedal is hi/lo one is reverse and one is the brake, plus the hand lever shifts between brake and clutch engage. One reason why I'm thinking Model A would be a better fit for an old petrol head, (as I believe you folks on the other side of the pond call us), and ex racer like me.

Yes your right the left hand pedal is the Hi/Low gear, Middle pedal is Reverse Gear and right is Brake, The handbrake only engages and disengages the Hi gear,as when the left pedal is up its in high gear with the hand brake fully released, if the hand brake is half way up the brakes are released and Hi gear is set to neutral or disengaged.

You can however fit foot throttle which makes driving one a bit more easy.

Model T Ford and a tankful of gas
Handful of pus.....wait, that's the cadence for Model A Ford, my bad....

Thanks for sharing the poem Del. Reminded me of the days when I drove my dad's 30 model A pickup that I helped him restore.

No problem, I have drove both of my uncle's Model T's and am considering buying one myself but might go for the late Model T instead of an early ones like my uncle has.

I got a little pile of tin.
I ain't sure what shape it's in.
Gots four wheels and a running board.
It's a four door. It's a Ford.
Honk Honk, rattle rattle, crash, beep-beep!

This isn't mine. I plagiarized it from someone; I know not whom. Just thought it fit real well here!

Some blokes should never drive a Model-T.

I don't think that car is a Model T at all going by the Radiator cowling the early T's had a radiator cowling like this http://www.conceptcarz.com/images/Ford/15-Ford_Model_T_Touring-DV-08_GMG_02.jpg

and the late Model T's had a radiator cowling like this http://strongarmsprays.com/SitePages/USAGES/27TModel/Images/ArrivalAdmiration.jpg

the one on the car in that picture is rounded but also steps up into another rounded section before the filler neck.

I believe that is a dent.
