Default A common sight coming soon

Away in my 28ccpu for the Easter weekend,up to Townsville for a rally(880 klms from home)
Stopped for smoko and my home made biscuits and cake,the servo had enough bowsers to fill 8 vehicles at once, but only two charging stations, one ,out of service,
How this will all work out is anyone’s guess.
But , the A is.humming along 50-52 mph all day, some hot parts (37c) an dsome big rain parts, no leaks inside, needed the front screen open in the hot parts, but there is a trade off for that in increased wind noise,
I had had a small oil leak on the new Burtz engine, but had done a proper fix .on it before leaving home, (machined the housing to take a Viton O ring), it’s now bone dry ,used no oil,is excellent on fuel.
Car travels nice again now after my experiment with el cheapo rear tyres, and having fitted the Firestone’s that I allways ran,
Have 3 days of car type activity over the next few days before heading home on Monday
