So the wife drove Bridget from town to her fathers cottage this afternoon, when I was home at lunch she decided to head out while I was there in case she had trouble doing her first "cold" start, she jumped in, adjusted the seat way forward, made sure it was in neutral, check parking brake, pulled choke out (all the way - hold out with left hand while turning key with right), Bridget fired right up & Paula then set it at half choke, pointed at the temp gauge & said "so when this needle moves past the "C" I put the choke in all the way right ?", then she turned on the lights, set the radio to play country music & away she went -
Just spoke with her & she didn't stall once during her 45 minute drive, remembered to shut the choke off & even seen another MG along the way & exchanged waves...
Only one comment that made me "shiver".. she says "you know that left turn off the highway to my dad's cottage road... well when your going fast on the high way & shift into 2nd (to make turn onto side road) & let the clutch out the motor really revs up"... I replied "yes dear it does... remember you shouldn't downshift into 2nd unless your already going a normal speed for 2nd" she reply's "ohh ya - I'll remember that for next time, will the motor be okay ?"... I said I'm sure she just "cleaned things up a little in the motor" she said it was running fine, gotta love those 1275's !
