nice one mate

Nice one Tunnie. 
That's a serious film of ice on there, I shan't moan about a frosty windscreen after seeing that.

Good photos. Good trip by the sounds of it. Well done.

Yes, a little bag of sweets is normal at Esso stations in Luxembourg when you fill up, regardless of type of fuel. Bizarre to see that photo of the filling station. It's 5 mins from my place - use it regularly.

In winters gone by that ice stays on the car for days - even weeks. Although -6 deg C is warmer than winters past. Same really - use to love the crisp clear -10/-12 deg. Only had that temperature for 2 days so far this winter

That bloody car just won't die, will it


Got one tiny patch of snow left on the grass, and that was from the 3' pile on Thurs, where it had all be shovelled.  More snow needed !

As long as it doesn't involve more than 5000rpm, or corners

It does both.

Be it on petrol, or two wheels

phew.. really interesting pictures.. thanks Tunnie.. 
 
seems you had an adventure with cold and ice

[tunnie]

Thanks all, yes the ice was interesting. I've had a very mild form of it once or twice in the UK. But nothing like what I got there, best bit was I popped bonnet to top up screen wash, ice was so thick, it cracked, but I could not put my fingers under the lip to release the catch.

Had to use my foot to break some of it off so I could reach it 

Engine & LPG ran perfect, spot on for temp. Going to treat it to some fresh oil and a full wash and hoover again. Its deserved it!

Excellent.

Hotel carpark was slush, a bus that came in had full lock on but just slid for bit.

Some of the slipways were untouched and had fresh snow, tracked well. On slush I find summer tyres could "skate" around or sit on stop of the slush, could really feel the grip. Unless I was stupid with the throttle, it never broke traction. I attempted an emergency stop in the slush, just as a test, very good results.

Suspect I've had my use of them for UK weather now, will keep them on for another month or so I think then swap back.

Very handy having a set that can go on any one of our 4 Omegas
