At 89 years old, Lizzie doesn’t get around as easily as she once did - but the fact that she’s traversing Europe at all is still quite an accomplishment for a Ford Model T. After years of driving the historic automobile, the Swiss author and automotive historian Bernhard Brägger has developed a distinct love of Lizzie’s characteristics and quirks, taking pleasure in everything from her idiosyncratic handling to the ‘monstrous’ sound of her engine. In Matkalla (which means ‘en route’ in Finnish), the Swiss director Thomas Horat follows Brägger as he drives Lizzie on a snowy winter road trip through Europe to Norway’s northernmost fishing village. Beyond the thrills of driving this ‘unpredictable machine’ in less-than-ideal conditions, Brägger cherishes the journey as an exercise in problem-solving, positive thinking and meditative solitude.
Here is a man living a dream, his success is not quantified by power or wealth, it is quantified by happiness and experience.
Thomas, thank you for making this short film! I drive a 1926 Model T Runabout through most of the year here in the northeast US. I share most of the sentiments you express in relation to the car. After a long day, I say to my wife, "I'm going to see my therapist" and then go drive for a few hours. One of the few activities that restores the mind of the participants & brings joy to the observers!
Dear Sir, one of the best Model T trips i ever seen on film. Well done indeed. we drive our Elisa 1915 daily too
This is the best 11 minute video I've ever watched and I think they should show this in in schools across America to show that life is not about money or power but about the journey and experiences that you have and that things that money can't buy you
Something precious about the bonds formed with those we travel through life with, even ones like this are so special.
Keep on trucking, as we say in the USA. Enjoyed your. video immensely. I drive my 1931 Model A Ford at least once a week. It puts a smile on my face and of the people who see her.
Such a wonderful adventure. I admire you. Driving in solitude, just listening to the monotonous drone of the engine is the best and most calming experience a man can have. I love the way the driver of the snow plow salutes you at 4:57. I salute you also.
One of the Best video I saw about Model T Ford, probably the best! Also nice testimonial, we feel the emotion and the philosophy behind that strong relationship between the her and you. Than you sharing this. :)
Te felicito, no me canso de ver el vídeo, un abrazo desde Lima - Perú
Great video! I’m currently rescuing a Model T on my channel. Such cool cars👍
I need more!
I wish I had seen you here in Bulgaria. Who knows, perhaps I had without realising.
This is such a cool video. I’m surprised on why it hasn’t gotten more views?
An excellent adventure!
Thank you for sharing your journey! I like the idea of hanging a blanket behind the front seat in your Touring. We haven't tried that yet in our 26 and that wind from behind is always the coldest.
I like this video because I am thinking of using a Ford Model T as a "daily driver" (not commuting though) and before any laughs, I used to drive a 1923 Ford T "Bucket" as a daily driver, that's a Model T hotrod with a Chevy 350 V8, in winter, in rain, didn't matter. Still, I want the real deal, the original, an authentic Ford Model T so now I'm watching many many videos of these wonderful cars. I really really enjoyed watching your video, vielen dank, Ich habe geniessen dein video, viele gluck mit ihren reisen im der zukunft!
Sir, you admire me to take my 1929 Model A to drive on four corners of United State.
Same for me too! Man and his machine!
I wish , i would have a car like that
WoW
Link in the description doesnt work www.mythenfilm.ch/
Is there a full movie?
I was kinda sad when it ended.
Me too
Omg, that's the last car i would do that in. Even if i had the skills to fix it along rhe way it wouldn't be older than the 70's im afraid. It would be Vanishing Point without the police coming for me. And no hot babes with shitty motives either.. 😎 Just the car and a hardisc full of 70's music. Og yeah, and 30 years of my age I would say..
