Default She woke up in a good mood !!

Temps were in the 70's for a few days so I figured it was time to wake the XK. Checked the battery level and found it needed a few hours to get fully charged even though I had a battery maintainer on her for the past 5 1/2 months.
After a few hours it was time and I tried the procedure posted here about pushing the gas pedal down and pushing the start button to turn over the engine without it starting, ( didn't work ) I then started it the normal way and I was surprised how quickly she started. Let her warm up for a few minutes, then drove her out of the barn. Everything was normal, no codes appeared, all tires were good, no drips, puddles or any from of leaking was found on the pad I had her parked on.
Took her for a quick 20 mile run and can honestly say I didn't feel any flat spots on the tires, She preformed perfectly, top went up and down and the CD's played right were they were when I put her in the barn last Nov.
Looking forward to a great Spring, Summer and Fall.

Mine woke up kinda cranky. Headlight, turned out to be a ground, Tail light turned out to be a bulb but chipped the outer lense housing tip removing, Grrrr, Blower fan, new motor but no spinny, Key fob pissy, talks to the hatch but not the ignition without inserting and will not lock the doors. So a few issues to work through. Drove it to work and back all last week and it runs strong, sounds great, and is still jaw dropping to look at.

You don't say you pushed the brake pedal at the same time but that is needed. :-)
