   I'll check the coolant and oil levels and condition, also see if I can
   get a sample of the ZF fluid to see what shape it's in.  I'll also take
   a look at the brake and clutch fluids, get air in the tires and make
   sure the brakes aren't seized.  What other things should we look for
   before trying to get this car running?
