3 + 30 = 9

So I got my shit together, my courage up and my confidence back. Or to put it another way - I took the Imp out at last. So I warmed it up after lunch and waited a bit.

I did need some choke to get her going [three squirts too] and the hand throttle about half way open - but then that worked fine. 

All the way around the block in the dying sunshine too - I forgot to get fuel through so had to turn back again for that. 30 litres moved the indicator from 3 gallons to 9 - with more left at the top of the gauge. Given 30 litres is just over 6 gallons that seems to work well.

The run was good and the car seemed to be more lively.

Then I decided to take pics by the Holbrook Church and got chatting to someone who's wife has the purple Elf in Stutton - small world. 

It seemed to make a 'graunching' sound getting away again but then we were on the grass. So a bit dirty but now she's back in the bubble after a proper test drive.
