Were you in Australia just to star gaze? Just curious. Never really looked thru a telescope, but on a cold clear night, it can be pretty humbling to look up and just appreciate all that it is, without even coming close to comprehending.

Mornin, Ken. Some high revs will also help to warm your engine as well as circulate the oil so all parts are properly lubricated. About 6 to 8 minutes should do it.
