Remembers me of one of the Ralph Stein books I have, where he describes his
adventures with all these classic and vintage cars - one of the stories was
about putting the car away for bit longer period than a week which needed to
have the clutch depressed all the time - it was not a hydraulic type of
course - and by this method preventing a frozen clutch...
Cheers,
Hans

No, not the ones Eskimos have when locked in conubial extasy, but those on
the cars. Every Spring I would find my TD with the clutch mechanism ,
plate and lining , stuck together. The solution that always worked was to
line the car up on an open roadway , put in gear and start it up, gas it
while pumping the clutch pedal. Never failed to free it.
