Default She only went and started!!!!!

My old S2 has been sat in my mums garage since I last ran her back in November due to the ouse purchase. The battery was flat as a pancake and the drums were making rusty noises as I rolled her out into the daylight. Quick clean up of the plugs, charge the battery and got the oil going through the engine. She only went and burst into life and sat on the driveway rumbling away without so much as a missfire.

Only problem is my plan of leaving her off the road this year to sort the house is now feeling really hard as I just want to get her insured, MOT'd and taxed and take her out for a drive

Awesome stuff.. Must be hard leaving it in the garage and not being tempted to take it for a quick spin though
