Grubby SAAB

SAAB getting very grubby. Not sure when it will be cleaned again. No classic action as the salt is still on the roads.

Salt and Slush

Gritting even though the roads are ok. SAAB trips and looking at the classics. Ho Hum.

Minus 11

Minus 11 did not feel as cold as I expected. Roads had been cleared too - so most of the drive in was fine. SAAB doing well this winter.

London Snow

Drove into London first thing. A bit slow on A12 but small roads in the capital were bad. Could not get the SAAB up the hill.

Ice skating in a 308.




Might have been mad - picking up the Ferrari with heavy snow forecast and ice on the roads. But it wanted to come home for Christmas. Bad run back through lots of black ice - mid engine and no weight on front wheels did not make it easy.

Nice collection in Grimaldi's though.

Focus windscreen replaced and then put up the new bubble in a box and parked up the 308.

Busy and cold day

AA meeting


Keeping warm by hugging my iPhone battery as I sit in a snow covered golf in the airport carpark at 8:00 at night.

Modern cars. Electrical problems abound. And they want us all to drive fully electric cars.

Turn back the clock stop about 1996 before fly by wire and builde something robust.

Flat Focus

Tryes keep going down. Had to pump front on up again. Same on the SAAB.

Taken Away


308 on back of trailer to get the fuel pump fixed.

At least it's not on the salty road.

Doors clamped shut when I left to drive home.

Deep Deep Deep




Snow all day. Bad going in. No so but coming home - although snow deeper. SAAB build for this weather.

Whizzzz

Skidding on Ice is not Nice.

A couple of times - once up a hill that I has to reverse back off. The second time I hit the bank.

Ummmm.
