The sweet sound of an SVX

After nearly 6 weeks of silence I finally started the hibernating beast up tonight. The garage doors are still iced shut (open out)as our back is directly north so it gets no sun. Opened the window and the door as far as I could and used a fan to pump in some fresh air. She fired right up. Had a slight valve tap until the oil got spread around but I really missed that sound. At least I won't have to clean all the salt of the undercarriage this year . She moved all of 3 feet to curtail any flat spots and warmed up to normal operating temp. The brakes are holding up great. Not a bit of rust on the rotors. The wd-40 spray worked but I really don't wanna have to take it off.
