35MPG hey? I actually think that's pretty good!
Here's me thinking that I would only get 10 or 11km/L (about 25MPG), and I would blow the thing up after only 2 weeks by sitting on a steady 65mph.
Now that I know the fuel economy is likely to be quite acceptable, and yours took (for my annual travel anyway) about 2 years before rebuild time, the idea of a little manual old-school hotrod is planted firmly in front of my thinking again.
Thanks for that!
(I'll keep your address hidden from my long-suffering wife).
Nothing to stop me now apart from the usual lack of ability, blind ignorance of 2-smokes and a frightening ability to get in over my head.........
