I am sorry you guys up north are still dealing with such cold weather. After a couple of weeks of working on someone else's car I started my Mini this afternoon... 74 oF. It fired on the second turn of the key and quickly settled down to a smooth idle. Now if I can just work up the energy to move some cars around I will be able to get the Mini out of the garage and on the road.

Apparently we set a new (local) record - 146 consecutive days with snow on the ground. Whoopee.

I try to start my extra cars once every couple months. Had the Mini on the battery tender for a couple days and took it out yesterday. Just around the block for a 5min drive. It was great to get out even for just a quick bit.

Jealous ! ! ! Got a foot of snow (total) within the past 10-12 days and currently expecting close to another foot overnight tonight!
~ 30 minutes in a Mini is more therapeutic than 3 sessions @ the shrink. ~
