As described! What is up with this situation? Engine runs beautiful when warmed up, will restart no problem if It has been shut off for even a few hours. Kudos to the battery and starter as I have tried to start it normally when it has been sitting for a few days, won't catch, thank goodness I live on a hill, coast down the hill a bit, put her in 3rd gear pop the clutch and vrooom! Have done this 6 times now!

Ok, coasted down the hill at my house, put her in 3rd gear, popped the clutch, vroom! Ran a little rough til warmed up, then ran beautiful all day, did a 300 plus mile tour thru some really nice twisty's, I can pull away from a 944' but the Audi TT can stay with me as she is a good driver, the Honda 2000, can stay with us in the straits but I easily loose them in the switchbacks. Not bragging, just trying to get some feedback on this cold starting thing, we stopped for lunch, we stopped for photo sessions, we stopped for coffee, teener started no problem every time. When I go to use it again, say next weekend for example, I know I will have to coast down the hill and pop the clutch again, but it won't start normally by turning the key. Battery and starter are both in excellent condition, can turn her over like crazy but no go.
