Very cold start

Today in Northern BC where I live, my non garaged mini started on the first crank. The temp was -35.5C/-31.9. Had to warm her up a bit but she drove well. No block heater either.

Nice man! thats pretty impressive, and I thought starting my non garaged 07MCS here on Denver mornings of -10f was impressive. Its always a slow, cringing, painfull sounding crank, but she does fire up. I alwyas feel like Im taking about 10,000miles off the life of the motor by doing that, but hey - how else am i getting to work? Well done.
