Vroom, vroom sounds heard once again.

This was a really great thing. Charged up the battey and playing around cleaning up terminal connections when I reached into the car and turned the key on Bugsy. Engine has not been started since December. He didn't even turn over half a crank and started purring away telling me to hurry up and get finished. He's anxious to drive.

I allowed him to fully warm up and after I shut him down I noticed a couple of telltale smoke marks of antifreeze burning off from two leaking hoses. I know I had a sligh coolant leak but thanks to bonnet being off I was able to easily spot them. Two more things on the list to be ordered on Monday.

But Vroom, vroom souds were fabulous in the garage on a rainy / little bit of sleet Sunday in Dayton. Temps in the 70's for next weekend. Yay!!!!!!
 
Way to go Jim. Of course it started right up, after all it's a Spridget.
 
This is the kind of event that we should all be posting video clips of!! :thumbsup:
 
It's when the car starts ITSELF and starts following you down the street that things get REALLY interesting!! LOL <That was either a Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode> :smile:
