Brrrrrrr run the Dino up


It's getting even colder here in the UK. There has been about 6" of snow followed by freezing temperatures with -12º predicted for tonight (Jan 7th) in Manchester. As it was sunny out today and with the car being sat unused in freezing temperatures I ran it up until properly warm for about 30 minutes. Not ideal to run these engines on idle for so long as they don't warm up quick enough and the spark plugs get dirty. ad to dig my way into the garage after defrosting the padlocks with a hair-dryer. The Dino started perfectly once the fuel had filled the carbs so no problems - it would just be nice to actually drive it, but the snow and ice will probably be around for at least another week from now.
