The T ‘n Vittles breakfast for July was hosted by Mark and Susan Wing and held at the El Patio de Albuquerque restaurant located at the intersection of Rio Grande Blvd and Griegos Road. El Patio restaurant is well known for its authentic homemade New Mexican food. On this Saturday, twenty club members dined in the shade of the patio area. The shade was very welcomed as the breakfast started at 10 AM and the temperature on this summer’s day was 85 degrees and rising to an eventual high of 99.
Five Model T’s were driven to the breakfast. The Wing’s drove their 1925 touring car, the Dominguez’s arrived in their 1925 Tudor, and the O’Brien’s came in their 1916 touring car. Fresh from their recent participation in the Montana 500 Endurance Run, Larry Azevedo drove his 1925 Runabout (the car with which he won the 2023 Montana 500) and Dave Ferro came to the breakfast in his 1924 touring car. Dave participated in the Montana 500 in 2023 and 2024.
The breakfast was enjoyable and a wonderful excuse to drive our cars, eat some tasty food, and spend time with our Model T friends.
