Glad to hear you are enjoying your Porsche.
My cold-story goes back to Cleveland OH back circa 1983..... I had (don't laugh) a Chevy Monza manual transmission. What a freakin' bucket of bolts. We, the Americans, deserved to have our clocks cleaned........ anyway.....
I don't remember the temps.... way way below zero F..... it was so cold, the transfluid gelled and the clutch was virtually engaged. Turn the key and car moved...... yikes! What does a 23 year old do? Get his buddies to aim the car down the road, push, start..... and keep going...... straight through the stop signs ...... until the thing warmed enough to have the clutch .. well.... be a clutch. I think I had a beer in one hand.... knee on the wheel.... won't say what was burning in the other.
Peace
