    Tonight I took her for a spin around the block. Well a bunch of spins around the block actually!,
    Think I have some flat spots on these white walls. Was afraid I would. Wonder if they will round out again in time..
    But so very cool to actually get it out and through her gears finally..
    Soft brake pedal, but consistent. And 1st has no synchromesh so full stop engagement only but woo hoo it is as fun as I had hoped. And the exhaust sounds way better moving than in the garage.

    Cool! Put 50 lbs of air in the tyres for a while and drive it around. Let it back down after a few weeks.
    Round again?

    Betcha that is a cool experience driving that!

    Well...As you finally sort your carburetters under the bonnet, your tyres will be flat-spotted!
    It's only natural.
