I paid my dues! During my 25 years in Canada, I spent 7 of them in Labrador with temperatures between -20 and -45 C this time of the year

Army, not local beauty spot yet, so far a decent highway, yesterday we took a test drive of around 175 miles return (280 km), impeccable, no failures, no vibrations, no funny noises, up to 115 KPH (71.5 MPH), no oil consumption in 540 Km so far, average fuel consumption 6 miles x liter (mountainous road), however, is it ever noisier and harder than my 2014 Honda Accord!
Had a friend fo a shirt video

Wow great video. Very impressed with your / your friend's film making ability.

Car looks great - I hope my interior looks as good as yours when I finally get round to finishing my project.

Ahhh sunshine and warmth - I remember that... (Here there is talk of yet another beast from the east at the moment)
