Hi all -

71 Fastback/FI/MT

Drove my son to school today.  Returned to the car and it wouldn't start.
 It is just below freezing today and the car started fine.  Drove 4 miles
to the school, dropped him off.  Got back in, turned the key, got both oil
and generator lights, fuel pump ran and stopped.  Turned the key to start
position....nothing.  Not a peep.  Tried many times then locked the door
and walked to work.

Is it possible that the cold weather is doing something to the starter that
might change when it gets a few degrees above freezing?  I have had ZERO
issues with starting this car in the cold and sub-freezing temps.  After
all, it started at my house and I drove it this morning.

The car isn't too far from work, but I DO have to work today so dealing
with it is going to be interesting.  Any suggestions ?

 - Bryon, '71 Fastback

ps - sorry to just ask without doing a lot of research.  My time is limited
today to get it running.  I searched the archives but my key words weren't
narrowing threads down very fast.  I'll keep looking.....
