The Pub with no Beer Just sharing a few photographs taken outside The Rathcoole Inn, “Irelands oldest two storey thatched pub”, with the owner Kevn Hoyne and myself sharing a cup of tea in these extraordinary times. Thinking back to the first day we met members of the Model T Club, I was chatting to Michael & Joan Rigney and that was the day I decided I wanted to own a Model T. In the previous years...

In 1956, when I was 10 years old, my father, John Connor, purchased an old car from a gentleman who lived near Geesala, Co.Mayo. My brother Patrick and I, were brought along, on what was then just an adventure for me, along with two mechanics who worked for my father – he clearly was a bit sceptical about his new purchase!! For good measure, one of the mechanics drove the towing ambulance. We...

This was an amazing piece of equipment at the time and a huge step forward from the horse and cart. By all...

Hello Members My first introduction to Model Ts was when we traveled to England to bring home our 1913 Tourer. Twelve months later 2013 I was asked if I would like to go for a weekend away. Sure I thought all my birthdays had come together. I was going to Cork on my very first Model T run. Great!!! The car will probably break down , I won’t know anyone, no-one will talk to me.

Greetings to all fellow members. I have always had an interest in wheeled mechanical things from an early age. From a family tie I can only attribute this to my maternal grandfather who as a dispensary doctor in Milford, Co Donegal bought in 1903 a brand new baby Peugeot, which is under the care of a first cousin of mine. At the tender age of 17, having completed my leaving certificate, I was brought by...

Hi members I hope all is well with you in these strange times we are all living through. Our secretary mentioned in his recent email our club is looking for things to publish on the website. As I have plenty of unplanned time on my hands I have put together a small video (approx 11 minutes) of the construction of the cutaway engine which may be of interest to some people. Our Club are welcome to...
