Happy birthday. I took the MGB for a ride this morning, and now the tudor. The roadster pickup is still snowed in.

I tried to start my cars today. the Model A farted and quit. I properly diagnosed it as moisture in the dissy. I left cap off for a few hours and we got a good start. My 29 Packard refused anything. Finally I pulled the plugs and flooded the cylinder with oil. Then some carb cleaner spray as I was out of ether. She fired right up. the eV-8 I have started easily
