Yeah, not that we have it that cold over here, but i often forget to fire her up for months on end and she is usually not happy about it.
It's particularity bad when she sat long enough for the oil to drain out of the lifters. That noise hurts my heart. Regular exercise is good for both the car and the driver! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) My 2.7 with 993 caps/lifters is similar. I try to drive my 914 monthly during the winter. If I can start every 3-4 weeks, never clatters. |
