Default Smoke worries again!

Right I've been parked on my drive all night since about 9pm which is at quite a steep angle face downwards and I've just started it up from cold and looked in mirror and saw a huge cloud of grey/blue smoke as I started her.

Is this down to parking it on the verge or do I have major problems coming my way?

Say it aint so....HELP!

Oh dear. If your turbo has gone you'd leave a trail of white smoke wherever you went. Smoke on start-up is usally due to worn cylinders. Does it stop once the car has warmed up? Does it stop straight away?

You got another video?
