The Cat is out of hibernation
 
It was 12 degrees C here in Barrie today (about 52 for you
Folks down South) so I washed a ton of stuff off the wife's car and the Jag was calling to me from the other side. Soooo, I took the cover off, unhooked the battery maintainer and got in for the first time since Oct first. All the memories were still valid and she started in a micro-second. Ran her till she was fully warm then parked her back inside for a bit longer. I want to see the first rains get all that salt off the roads (and grit) before she goes out. Won't be long. She sure did sound good.:icon_dance-tap:

You all SUCK except eaglexkr...just kidding!

I still have 2 feet of snow in my back yard here in Manitoba but we are experiencing a very rare early melt off so I'm hopin' to get it back on the road by the end of April. Am I living in a fool's paradise? Perhaps.
