[urq] Out from winter sleep

[Pasqualoni, James E]

Lucky man (um, not counting pearl V8's...)!  How about mine-I walk into the
garage where she's parked, turn the key, and she fired right up.  Pull her
outside, shut her down and she sat outside in the sun for an hour-no start
(no crank, no nuthing!).  Slight roll, pop clutch into second, starts right
up.  Back her into garage.  Two hours later in the garage, fires right up
again.  Back outside.  An hour later in the sun, no start.  WTF?  Methinks
bad ignition switch not grounding???  Damn Winter Gremlins...

Speaking of my Urq, of course.  Parked it 3 months ago, put on the cover and
unwrapped it this morning.

Good news:  She started right up with no assistance from another battery or
charger (try that with the V8).

Bad News:  I parked it with an almost-empty tank.  $66 later she's full.
Brakes need to be bled (spongy).
Rear upper strut mounts need to be replaced (knew that one) Dead window
regulator on Driver's side ???  Hmm.  Suggestions welcome.

That's it for now.  I almost forgot how much fun she is to drive (even with
the winter tires).
