Antique Autos Events
Pat owns a 1915 Model T Speedster. This qualifies as an Antique Auto. The Antiques are a branch (chapter) of the Vintage Car Club of Canada. The main events we attend with this group are the Island Challenge and the summer meets arranged by the Vancouver people. These meets have been in various places in the Province of B.C.
Pat has had the Speedster for 17 years as of 2009 and is now in the process of having his new old 1912 Torpedo Roadster Model T Ford rebuilt. In the spring of 2011 Pat got the 1912 Model T finished and back from James shop. We use it in the Father's day run, the Model T Ford Pincher Creek meet and get the bugs worked out. At the Island Challenge it runs very well.
