Default First run

Pulled the old girl out yesterday and took her for a stroll. Ran clean, smooth, went threw the gears with ease. Proud moment. No tires on her so we didn't go far. 4 times out without a hitch. Just share'n!

We were going to town but the rear wheels wouldn't get us up the hill to the hard top. So we had to sit on the rims and drink our own beer instead! :-)

Gotta admit, it was pretty thrilling getting a taste of what it is like to drive something thats 83 years old...

I see a lot of work to this stage. I wonder if someone nearby has a set of rollers (well worn tires and tubes) so you have a cushion of air between you and the rolling surfaces.
