Place your bets, will it start??

Off to bring the CSL home as it's been stashed at my folks for the past 2 months while some DIY Kitchen fitting has taken over the garage.

Not been looked at for that length of time so will it go without the aid of a jump start???

I'm 50/50 as it's been not too bad during my ownership.
Most interesting thing will be the drive to mine with slush / snow and cups

Lets see how good these German cold starts are.

Update shortly.

At two months, I think you may need some help mate !

I'm guessing the jump leads will get some use

Best of luck with the drive home Paul

About 5sec on the starter and away it went

Bit slow turning over but couldnt really expect anything else to be fair.

Quick burn around and it's now back home and in the garage looking VERY sorry for it's self. All this snow and the fact it's been under a tree has not done it any favours in the looks department

Still love it to bits though and the popping and banging between gear changes and on the over run for the 1st few miles made it even better

p.s. jumpleads were with me at all times though

Sounds like you've got a good one there mate

I hope a bit of "Bucket & Sponge" action

is on the cards for your CSL in the very near future

Matt,
Just spunked £££ on detailing stuff last week from Polishedbliss so it's going to happen......soon. Even bought a machine polisher which will probably seize up due to lack of use

Tomorrow will just be a wash and dry though as out for the works party in about an hour so it will be sore heads all round
