Default A fun quickie. The truck's running, but I don't believe it.

Just a fun quickie from Mart's garage. I started the pickup up to check the radiator for leaks. I noticed something I did not expect. It was running, but I'm surprised it even started! It's impressive to see such a shower of sparks just at idle. Imagine it at high revs!
Ok just a quickie. A proper video will be out tomorrow. Mart.

Glad you didn't have a gasoline leak at the same time.

I’m shocked! To see it was still running!

Yikes! Some times it doesn't hurt to idle your vehicle at night and turn off all the lights in the garage. Keep a door open for ventilation!


Great looking truck Mart! It's a winner, love it!.
