All::::::::::::::::::

Yesterday, Friday the 18th, was our first warm day here in
Dear Old Bangor, Maine. I took the opportunity to go over
and start-up my 1966 Corsa Turbo Coupe for the first time
since October 28th, 2010.

It has been stored in a dry, unheated garage since that date.

It gets COLD here in Maine, and I had no way to anticipate
what might or might not happen.

Long story short, I simply placed my butt in the driver's seat,
inserted the key, depressed and released the accelerator and
turned the key with about 1/3rd throttle.

The automobile started immediately, just as if I had driven it
the day before. It "clicked" a tiny bit for about two seconds.
Idled down in about two minutes or so. No Drama. No Long,
Extended Crank. It just started up and ran like a Champ!

I give all the credit for this to Regan Metcalf of Oregon for
making this car solid and reliable. 

The 30 minute drive I then took was a true BLAST!

My question is, simply, What am I Doing WRONG?????????

Cheers, Everybody!
