Re: What's the coldest temp you've ever started in?

Wow that's cold. It got down to 58 degrees here last month (15 celsius)

When I lived in Washington it got to 15F degrees. The old 1200 started and drove fine. As usual, crank the engine two seconds to get the fuel flowing, then stop cranking. Pump the accelerator pedal twice to set the choke and put fuel down the manifold, then the A12 started right up

One winter it was very cold and a policeman pulled my Datsun 510 over for "driving without caution on icy roadway". I told him I had already been driving for 90 minutes ...

Another winter it was in the 20s and I got some pictures. No problems driving with only studs on the rear tires

The coldest I ever saw in Western Washington was 5 degrees (-15 celsius) in Seattle when a cold front came down from Canada. Too cold for me, but aside from the doors not opening (frozen shut) the car had no problem
