Looked outside, the roads were completely dry, no snow or ice in sight. The keys were there on the counter. Resistance was futile, I was being assimilated by the Matra Murena spirit.
Checked around the car, everything looked good. Got in, pulled up the choke. Cranked the engine, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, .. about 6 seconds and it fired up
Let it idle for a while to get warm and drove up to town. Did a bit of shopping and drove it back home.
It drove totally like when I parked it,,, Great.
The engine got warmed through, the rust worn off the disks. I just cannot wait for spring to arrive.
But it did cure my winter blues for a while.
