Default Brought the A home yesterday

I've been waiting some time to pick up the A that I bought from my grandpa's estate. I only planned on rolling it out of my uncles shed where it's been since October. I wanted to check it out to see if it could make the maiden voyage 50 miles home or would I need a trailer. My uncle and I put a few gallons of fuel in it and it fired right up. Well since it was running and everything else looked good I figured I'd give the trip a shot. I was able to find a few passengers that were willing to watch me practice double-clutching.
After an hour and a half (potty breaks included) we arrived home safe and sound. I did have one issue with the GAV though, it seemed to stick after taking off from our second stop and sputtered a bit before settling down a few miles down the road. I'll have to check it out after a trip to school this morning!
