    Starts & Runs

    I (semi) recently won a bid on an M35. Currently just waiting for my EUC to clear (52 days and counting) so I can go pick it up. Like many folks mine had the ubitquitous and slightly encouraging 'Starts & runs' description. While doing my wait-research I've read many posts about the condition...
