Oh, and it started instantly, and the demisters were already kicking hot air out by the time I'd finished clearing the windows before driving to work.

Here's a few from Feb last year:

That's my workshop

It's the only car I have that works, as the other (on the trailer in my sig pic) has been off the road for over five years now

During the blizzard that hit the East Coast of the USA last February. 28 inches in our front yard.

December, 2009, we've only had our first cold days this winter here this year.

Taken after I got back from work yesterday. Remarkably the C70 has almost no snow on it, had to clear off another 4 inches off it though to get it back home and my 760 appears to have acquired a toupee...

Also conclusive proof that a 700 series estate is not completely square!

Fancy a seat?


Will need to take some pics of the 850... About a foot of snow on top and shiny everywhere else
