[T3] HE RUNS!!!!! (sorry to shout, I'm just excited)

[Neil <nmast@micron.net>]

Today, for the first time in 28 (yes that is twenty-eight) years, my 65
Notchback, Linus, moved under his own power!!!  I've busted my butt for
the past couple of days because we're having a little VW show here in
Boise, Idaho this weekend.  Today was the BBQ and cruise.  I put the gas
tank in at 7:00 pm and had the car running by 7:15.  I took it for a
test drive in my cul-de-sac (about a tenth of a mile) then took off for
the cruise, about 4 miles away.  It felt GREAT to hear a flat-4 engine
behind me.  I haven't driven a running air cooled car in over 3 years
and it was even better than I remembered.  Thanks for all the advise and
information from everyone, especially folks like Jim A, Russell W and
Dave H who seem to take more time to answer questions here than most
people work during the day.  Also thanks to Mr. Darkness himself, Brian
Fye for rebuilding my carbs.  They actually work!  Still have a LOT of
work to do, but at least it drives.

Neil
65 Notch
