Weekend Edition: Estonian cold start videos are captivating

At this point, I’m certain YouTube was set up as a treasure trove for cold start videos. There’s trains being cranked into life, tractors, you name it. But this Estonian channel is one of the most interesting so far, as the cars and trucks have sat for quite a while, and a lot of them look like they’re definitely easiest let untouched. All of the video material is long and HD quality, so it’s very interesting for the wrenching inclined Hooniverse commentariat. Jump over to see some of the most interesting Flexiny videos.

I don’t think it’s been factory fresh when it was left there. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE2pO9ke1uA[/youtube] And of course, there has to be a Moskvich.

Getting them going again is somehow amazingly rewarding, when the tortured starter noise is turned into age-old engine clatter. [Source: Flexiny/YouTube]
