just wondering how many of us idiots there were out there this week driving our nobs all the way to work in 3rd gear at 15mph in the snow.

noble as a daily driver without a second car - piece of cake. ha ha

in fact it has been fine really no worse than any other car apart from pulling away from junctions. i had a few stalemate moments with zero traction but a bit of brute force seemed to get me through.

it's been quite an experience this week - all part of the fun. i cant wait for it to warm up though

Was out in mine yesterday because it was dry and thought I'd give it a warm through. Was quite surprised when I started it up as the oil temp was -1 yikes
I'm also thinking there must be some demand out there for CF gear knobs or some other material? My knob has never been so cold. smile

Mine was tucked up nice and warm until i had to take it for an MOT.

At first i thought it was okay as most places were dry. However, a few places were still damp or should I say icy, which was interesting spin

My standard diff broke this time last year in cold weather going round a roundabout.

There's so much salt on the road I think it's the best place for it at the moment.
