and the Carb people will LOVE this!!  true story from some years ago

the 67 Fast was sitting all the previous day without being run, Im up at 7AM
needing to get to work, its -28F... in goes the key... 3 pumps to the
floor... and a very slow RrrrRrrrRrrr... then some signs of LIFE.... then
while still pumping I try again.... and it STARTS!!!  I need to keep
featering the gas for a couple minuites,  a full 5 minutes before I can get
the gear shifter out of gear and release the clutch..., another 15 minutes
to warm up and 4 flatspotted tires for the first mile.... almost couldnt
drive it but I GOT TO WORK... then GOT THE BOSS TO WORK...  Then he used the
little car for all the buisness errands that morning....

Twas a fine day for the Type 3!!!
