Fired up the IROC yesterday!

[HardRockCamaro]

With the weather improving (well it *was*) I decided it was time to consider getting the IROC out of the garage.
I let the MOT lapse as I wasn't planning on using it over winter so I can't drive it again until I have one, so first order of the day was to see if the battery was alive or if I'd need to remove it and take it home to charge (no leccy in the rented garage).

Got in, turned on the ignition, the fuel pump primed slowly, I twisted the key  to fire it up and:

Whiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......

(very slow turning over, not looking good)

Whiiiiiiiiii....

(give it a tap of throttle)

.....Cough......iiiiiirrrrrrrrr..........Rumble, rumble, burble, burble.


I let out a "YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!" as she sat there rumbling away happily.


Damn I love that car.....

So, the big question is, when will you be racing it?

[Pod]

I like the way Camaro owners see starting the engine as a major achievement.

It'd be easy to add an applicable Ford related insult, here.

But I won't.  I'm a grown up.
