Just got my S4 out of extended hibernation to get her started.

Never used her last year, so the plan is to do a few road trips this year, bit of prep work first...

well if that was the first start for nine months for my car, I would be concerned....oil has had all that time to drain down...none on bearings or cylinder walls.......and immediate throttle blip....
I would have turned engine over [without a spark] several times to get oil pressure before attempting to start...!!

It was turned over a while tho get the fuel through before firing, just edited that part out!!

Yes the Ultima is a nice car....1050kg......640bhp still prefer the Lotus though.
