Which means roof off and better performance from colder/denser air. Hang your heads in shame all those who put their cars away for the winter loser

Mine will be driven throughout the winter...unless we get snow. Was out in it the weekend at Vmax...foot to the boards in the fog!

No excuses for roof on during precipitation of ANY flavour. Just drive faster.

Colder denser air = more fun, snow = no fun for me. I'm afraid I'm not brave enough to play in the snow, even in a lowly S! (To be honest, it won't even get off the drive in this weather so I'm out by default)

I always run the Sag at least every 2 weeks to throw some oil around the engine, but it only on dry roads with no/little salt - anything else is just asking from trouble (imho)

Just have to dig the snow a bit so the exhausts don't fill up when reversing out the space!

This was what i found when I came to pick up my car from Luton airport after flying to Glasgow for a couple of days then having to drive back from Glasgow as planes could not land at Luton airport and flights were cancelled! I left it there for a couple of days until it had cleared a bit as too deep to drive as car would be like a snow plough!!

I think during the day the snow melted a bit and due to the slope of the bonnet it slid off the cars bonnets.
