Independence Day

Post by Dirkco » Tue Jul 05, 2011 1:58 am

Hello All,

Well today is Independence day here in the states so to celebrate I woke up today and decided that I would drive the 1910 for the longest ride yet. By modern standards it was a short drive 14 miles but with two passengers and with some fairly steep hills it is not an easy task for a single cylinder car. But everything went so well I decided to drive back later in the day.
We even reached 40 mph at one point (down hill). So I consider this an independent day for Rover with 28 miles under my belt in a single cylinder 1910 Rover 8.

Happy Rovering
Dirk in States

Hi Dirk,
Sounds like you celebrated in style there. Good to hear that you have managed to get the 1910 vehicle out onto the road.
