Well done, John
You seem to have achieved what many others dare not even
hope for. Amazing when the car's been sitting for years and
only needs a gentle nudge, while others have cars of
probably any make that have been idle a few weeks and defy
EVERYTHING you can throw at them to persuade them to run -
including fervent prayer.
Enjoy - but don't forget, your time WILL come!
