Well we've finally had a couple of days without snow/sleet/torrential torrents

So how many of you have managed to get the toys out to play?



Had to visit High Wycombe this evening and it was too good a chance to turn down.

My old Jag is 'ard. It laughs in the face of winter.

I don't mind getting mine all wet, but the salty roads worry me. I know I need to get around to redoing the bottom of the car.
I suspect the tyres might have made a better job of the snow than either of our moderns though.

I keep the underside nice and clean on it and all the drains clear from debris, and it seems to survive.

One job on the list for this spring is to get underneath it and redo all the underseal, and get all the box sections treated.

I use it all the time, and it seems to cope with it fairly well with all weathers so far. The heater could be better, but that's about the only gripe I have with it.

The snow was kind of fun, seeing as there's no limited slip diff.

Judging by that picture, you have an interesting method of parking...

Me too. And it has had a hell of a lot of salt on it this winter, I have noticed a small group of blisters pushing through where some new metal was let in a couple of years back frown

Hey Ho! something to have a chip at with a screwdriver in the spring hehe

When I bought it it was red but registered as blue. When I sprayed it I found the back half had always been red and the front, screen forwards, had been blue and 2 shades of red. Whoever fitted the front done areally good job, you cannot see the join over the paint
it's still a relatively fast car but 18mpg.
