My 65+ Years Of Motoring
By Glenn L. Flock
Short & Tall Tales
Adventures Behind The Wheel Of Nearly 100 Cars Owned
You'll get the most out of "Motoring" if you love driving and adventure traveling with a sense of humor. Where road trips and journeys of exploration are badges of honor, achievement and quiet satisfaction.
Along for the ride, you'll enjoy the fun of meeting people, places and things you might not ever imagine. And, even if you've traveled the same roads, you'll get to relive your experiences in a new light.
Five time capsules or eras are covered:
-
China Lake Years of the 1950's
-
European Years of 1961 - 1967
-
Colorado Years of 1968 -1973
-
Pennsylvania Years of 1974 - 1976
-
Northwest Years of 1976 to the present.
This Go2Fun Project is intentionally published as a website where the content is in the form of easily read and downloadable PDF's.
This enables a delightful ability to bypass all other publishing systems (print, ebooks, etc.) thereby creating an opportunity to use all-media and all file formats throughout.
Text + Graphics + Links + Audio-Video + Social Media + More
Ordinary "books" can't match that. Can't even come close.
All Go2Fun Project end when one of us stops breathing. There are hundreds of stories to be told spanning 65+ years of motoring.
The slideshow below shows a few of the cars and eras.
Everything in Motoring is organized around the makes of cars owned during the related time-frame. Often it's more about the journey rather than any particular car. Many times detailed information about the cars will be available for readers who are automobile enthusiasts.
Not everything is about cars. Aviation, motorcycles, and boating are in the story mix as well. Land, sea and air — all modes of transportation. Adventure stories. Travel stories. Fun stories.
For example, one of the times I flew with Art Scholl in his Staggerwing Beechcraft in the mid-1950's from a small dirt strip in Ridgecrest, CA.
So, come ride with us awhile. It will be a Grand Drive. You'll see.
Owned by Glenn Flock on the North Mojave Desert at the Naval Ordinance Test Station (NOTS) at China Lake, CA. circa 1958 A place the size of Rhode Island where the Sidewinder missile and several anti-submarine weapons were developed during the 1950's. An amazing world of aircraft, car and motorcycle enthusiasts coming together in bursts of activity and notoriety.
The Flock's factory-delivered E-Type at the border of Scotland and England in July 1966. From 1961 - 1967 we lived in Germany and Belgium. Dreams coming true as we traveled and lived in Europe for six years. Many cars, many stories and many interesting people met. Even a Grand Drive or two.
Flock's Westy in a campground near MaryHill, WA. circa 2004. The Subaru engine made this camper into the ideal motoring machine. After a 1972 - 1976 Pennsylvania interlude we moved to the Great Northwest. RV Grand Trips, cross-country drives and a motoring life well spent and enjoyed.
