Valk, keep up the good work!

And it was very nice of you to give her a "Birthday Bath"!

Re: 40,000 miles today

If I get my car on the road by the end of the month I should hit 20,000 by May. I am talking kilometers so I have a lot to catch up, I may be 75 by then. The car sits for five months a year, I hate the winter even more since I got this car.

Yup the engine and engine bay got it's first ever wash.
With advice from Maxcichon I used
Simple Green and water mixed 50/50 and then sprayed over the entire engine and surrounding areas.
Let soak for about 10 minutes on a cool engine and then rinse with household garden hose.
Start and run engine for about 10 minutes and detail as needed.
