fired up the V12 today

as above,

its been a few months, so i decided to lift my spirits by bringing the big cat to life for a few mins

didnt want to turn over to start with , so on went a fresh battery and away she went

left her running for five mins to loosen everything up and then tucked her back up


feels good to let her roar a little, even if she didnt get out the garage , lol

Dam you beat me by a day, going to fire my old girl up tomorrow. Yes I know she's all in bits and up on stands but just for the feel good factor as you say.
All been checked electricaly with an Epitest unit, new fuel hoses, fuel pressure set, cranked with no plugs or ignition to get some oil pressure with no compression (as she's not been started for a couple of years).
Fingers crossed.
