This is not uncommon in my neck of the woods with older autos with old-style lubricants. I used to drive Alfas as daily drivers in sub zero temps and it was a must to depress the clutch when starting. It became such a habit that I always depress the clutch when starting. Now with starter interlocks, it is necessary even with modern lubricants.

Peace,
Ben

Gentle Alfisti,
Years ago John Hoard wrote about life with his GTA and mentioned that he 
depressed the clutch for a winter start. Now I know what he was talking about. 
Shell Dentax gets so stiff in the cold that when in neutral, the car pulls 
forward under the viscous load of rotating internals. Has anyone experienced 
this?
