Vroom, Vroom sounds from Bugsy

Well Bugsy has yet to make it out of the garage but I was successful in finally making Vroom, Vroom sounds after 5 months in hibernation yesterday. My no joy when turning the key was traced to the battery. Once termnals were cleaned it took a charge and I turned the key. About 30 seconds worth of cranking after a long nap and he fired right up. A few seconds of blipping the throttle to clear of the junk and he settled into a nice idle.

Almost 2 inches of rain yesterday turned into a bit of snow overnight so I still have not be able to get him out and about for a test drive. Weather is supposed to break and get into upper 40's and sunny on MOnday and Tuesday. Mayperhaps if schedules work out Bugsy can finally go fo a drive.

Signs of Spring are around in Dayton. Daffodils at a friends house are up 3" and I saw a few crocus in bloom already. I can't wait for it to get here. Siesta Key next week for beach time and warm weather. I hear reports that the Gulf hit over 70 degrees last week. Crazy Northerners in shorts and in that cold water. Come on Spring.
 
Excellent! Warm weather is coming eventually, even to those of us who are still frozen.
 
Hi Jim,

Just got back from Sand Key by Clearwater last night. The weather is high 70s to low 80s and top down time for sure. Saw two MGBs and a BJ8 while there. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
