Thanks for resizing the photo. As far as the start up--while in theory the act of cycling the throttle should have no effect, if you feel it helps, by all means do it--can't hurt. Sometime ago I read a magazine column that dealt with how to determine if your car has character--the more special instructions needed to give a first time driver has a direct correlation to amount of character the car posseses. Regarding warm-up time--it's always been my practise to get going right after start-up. When the oil pressure light goes out you've got oil throughout the system and the fastest way to fully warm is by driving--easy for the first few miles. Good Luck with your car--my wife and I owned many varieties of 122's--among them a wagon and a 4 door in your colors--if you were here in the east I'd invite you to join us on the track with Eastern Motor Racing Association (emraracing.org).
