Oh yes Dennis, I was bloody freezing cold, The Terrier was a bit of a ■■■■ to start in the cold weather, The cold start knob was on the drivers side back of the cab, So if you had extra extra long arms you were ok, Otherwise it was a two man job, Hence I was there with my son Nigel to get it fired up the easy way & off to the depot for servicing, Hope you are keeping well my friend, Regards Larry.
