Hi Folks,

=20

Well, I took everyone=E2=80=99s good advice and it started up, no =
problem.

=20

So naturally I decided to go for a test drive =E2=80=93 the tow truck =
has just dropped the car off.

=20

After about a mile of driving, it felt a bit sluggish so I pulled into a =
Garden Center and tried to turn around.  It stalled and it decided it =
didn=E2=80=99t want to go any further.  That=E2=80=99s when I called =
Hagerty for the tow truck.

=20

I have a feeling the brakes have rusted up and seized.  I have to jack =
up the car and see which ones =E2=80=93 front or back.  Which are more =
likely to seize?  Probably the back drums, right? Funny thing though =
=E2=80=93 before I started walking back home, I felt each wheel for heat =
=E2=80=93 nothing.

=20

Cheers
