Third attempt at cranking over, the battery still had enough from last November to start. Before I put it to bed I poured some "Sta-bil" in the 1/2 tank and ran the car for 5-10kms or so. Parked it, covered (Noah cover) in the unheated carport till today... 20 deg C or about 70 F and going to take it around the block. Now, I wonder if this freeking weather will stay close to this for a bit, if so I'll be putting driving insurance on it this week.

Send us all the snow in the east. The north east of the states need more.

I went cross country skiing this am and plenty of snow in the mountains between 4800 and 7500 feet. Going to be interesting if all that decides to melt quickly.

Re: it still works
Yes it was a great day, Chris - even on the Island. I got the fruit trees pruned and sprayed (dormant spray) and the outside Christmas lights taken down. Almost got the Fiat out, but got hooked into a G and T instead. The weather is supposed to be pretty good for the rest of the week, so there's lots of time. Since I got my Collectors plates - and year 'round insurance - I don't have to worry about that aspect.

Not here. Up the mountains yes. I'm in a "rain shadow" of the coastal mountains so we don't get a bunch of snow or rain here.fiat218 wrote:No snow there
