Mine is in so many pieces it would need a magician, not a mechanic to put it together again! :)

So I borrowed someone elses!

Been driving around in a Series IIA which is my customers (also up for sale). Even had to use the winch on the front to drag a transit out of a ditch!

This is the first time I've got to play in real snow in a 4x4.  And I'm loving it.  Particularly when you watch "normal" cars slithering and sliding all over the place.  Bring it on!

On the way home SWMBO said "I wonder if we'll have to tow Jim (our neighbour in his Chrysler Crossfire) up the drive-way again" as we turn a corner coming up the final hill to discover a Crossfire with a wheel up on the pavement and tail end sticking out ... towed him about 1/4 of a mile back to the house :)

Cars not to have in this kind of weather #305: rear wheel drive sports cars.
