After 17 days left, I was very much apprehensive on what I found and if it would start ok, but even although she had been sitting there for all this time in freezing temps and burried in 2 foot of snow I need not have worried.
After about 30-40 mins of digging her out I got in and she started first time, not even the slightest of splutters.
I did have the help of a mate or 2 to help dig it out and the use of a spade provided by the hotel. I did however recoil in horror when I turned round and saw my mate shovelling the snow off the roof with the spade :aargh:
Got most of it off apart from the roof which was just frozen, I had some funny looks driving down the road until it came off in what seemed like a minor land slide :lol:
Anyway here were 2 snaps with the old camera phone.
