crikey, that looks as bad as round 'ere!!! I've just got back from the cinema with the tuther arf. It was an interesting drive and one that I probably wouldn't have attempted if it wasn't in a company car on company insurance!

That's hardcore!! and I thought our 8" and -6 was bad!!! although on the other hand, it must be absolutely beautiful up there

Lucky you!I Suppose this happens every ten or twenty years.........
Around here every year.....from Nov-Dec to end of March. But no wedges outside.....;-)
They are safely inside.
I imagine a ride in a wedge would be "interesting", especially with tyres meant for dry summer days.

Nah real hardcore is -27 (-41 a bit further North), well I am in Norway at the moment and bleedin freezing my bits off, even the locals are not happy, luckily the wedge is back home in a tropical climate of -4 and a few inches of snow, chassis tucked up in the garage but the unfortunately the body outside and I must get a cover on it once this white stuff goes.

If you've got typical "British climate oil" viscosity, say, 20-50, DO NOT start your car if it's -20C or so.
Your oil will flow like molasses at that temperature, you'll have bugger all for oil pressure for the first minute
and you WILL wear your engine abnormally!

If you're running 0W-50 or 5W-50 I'd say go for it. Unless you are, wait for a warmer day.

Took mine out for a drive yesterday... I don't know what you lot are complaining about!!


Was damn slippy where the roads hadn't been gritted I must admit.
