My 29 Tudor had not been started and driven for about a year due
to a heart problem that I had, but I am well along on the
mend, so when the local club had a picnic at a park about
50 mile away I decided to drive it. I put fresh gas in it and it started up on the first try. So off the wife and I went. I was very pleased that
it had no problems or hickups there and back.
I think that this will be a fun summer with both the A and me
in good working order!!

I have found that driving (or fixing) my A provides a great stress reliver. Should help you recover from your health problems!! That is as long as you do not need to push the A!!
