Default Just been out to start the sl@g

I havent really botherd with the car since Novemeber. So today i thought i would go out and start it up to give it a run for a bit!

Cranked it over for a good few turns to get the oil pressure up. Then lead back on turn over the car and she fires up straight away puring like a kitten ( though i didnt expect anything else from a engine that only done 1700miles )

Now i really cant wait until Central day when im going to bring the car out for a couple of days whoohh
