I wonder how many cars can be left standing for 5 months and start up and idle nicely on the 2nd attempt?

Thing is it's cruel for them to be left this long, and then you feel like selling, then you don't.

But, I spose that's the beauty of E30 and old car ownership.

Is there only me that thinks like this?

Mine always fires up too! I think its a lot to do with the lack of electric gizmos that aren't draining the battery like on newer cars.
