Winter

[hollowpockets]

looks like we could be in for a rough one, last week in aberdeen was pretty stormy, driving home on the outskirts of town, counteswells road, a massive bush rolled tumbleweed style across the road infront of me just catching the front of my car,

then this morning going down my street one of the plastic paper recycling boxes was blow across infront of and went under my car, which was then in a few pieces in my rear view mirror, no damage done though, thinks its time to go buy a winter car from the auctions!!!

a 2nd set of wheels for aberdeen winters is a wise move. i just put my 993 into
'warm lay-up' and have a clio 197 as a runabout / crap weather car.

keep the tvr in tip top condition for spring!

You should try it in Moscow! This will be my fourth consecutive winter here. Last January/February they were recording temps of -38c during the day without windchill. At night your nazal passages would freeze up if you werent careful. A tad chilly as they say.

Graeme you must be getting old. Us hillclimbers up in the Granite City don't put on a jumper until hell starts to freeze over.

My tuscan is parked up wating on a bloody clutch at the mo
And the 5 series winter shitter is acting up too

Vette is "plastic fantastic" so don't care about salty roads, although has to stay in the garage when the snow comes! What is with the traffic in Aberdeen at the moment - mental busy!

Trevor, None of us are getting younger, thats for sure!
I did say it was a tad chilly, when I go down to Irkutsk, that is cold! Your eyeballs start to freeze! And then we put a jumper on!

Never mind home in a couple of weeks to fix the half shafts on the vette.

Lets hope there's a fair bit of it for once (personally speaking of course)

Tad chilly setting out from Potterton this morning - Sagaris off for a new clutch, so borrowed Chameleon Green Tuscan 2 at the moment.
No intention of putting the Sagaris away for the winter - drove through last year and missed about 4 or 5 days for weather. More at ease and comfortable in the Sagaris than any other car I've driven for that period of the year.

Foz, where is the work being done on yours??

I would post a photo from Moscow but some bl**dy Ruski nicked my camera! The second one!!

Horrible here, temp about freezing sleet or snow creating huge puddles on the uneven pavements rainwater pipes discharge onto pavements adding to the mess. Gives all the girlies a chance to wear their long stileto heeled boots in public though!
