That's probably as much frame twist as suspension on the T but fun to watch. I don't think I'd want to do it too often though, that twist might not come all the way back to square. You could end up with a Keystone Kops model T.

I thought the interesting part is that normally people don't take into consideration the development (or lack thereof) of the road system when the Model T was common......it had to work fairly well in bad road conditions, it was still proving itself.

Jeff oughta have some information about the subject with all his spring calculating though don't know if he ever figured it in 'ramp numbers'....I know there was a forktruck involved somewhere.
I'm sure there is an expert over on Pirate that could give a ramp number of a 2A.
Larry, I agree, also would like to add that I think the added wheelbase of the T is also helpful in the 'numbers' situation.
Still, a 'fun' comparison I thought.
