Day 30



Before leaving Austin this morning we did laundry at our motel. While Mae did the laundry I worked on the car. Adjusted the Watts clutch, low pedal, reverse pedal and tightened the exhaust pipe nut. Put the 4 hubcaps on I took off last night because of some suspicious looking guys. I need the hubcaps on to keep the dirt and water out of the axle and bearings. After breakfast we packed our things in the car. Then we did some riding around, seeing Clarence Wehmeyer and saying good-bye one more time, before heading for today's destination, College Station, Texas. It was a short drive today--96 miles. It was a hot ride, temperature when we got here at 3:00 pm was 106 degrees. We visited Ross Lilleker's restoration shop, Ross is super busy, lots of jobs on going. We did not see Ross but his lovely wife Jennifer showed us around. I was to go back later tonight but the heat today was 106 degrees and it got to me, I fell asleep in motel room. After Ross Lilleker we went to visit Ben Hardeman at Texas T's. Ben was very receptive and showed us around. They have a very nice place.
