Title: Pretty cold ! ! !
Post by: Pera on 06 January 2010, 14:15:13
I was test driving a VW Caddy 4-Motion yesterday.
Drove to a border customs against Sweden 40km from home, to return again.
For a surprisingly fun and controlled car by the way ..
But it was pretty cold up there -33 degrees below .. Brrrrrr ...!!!(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u298/76berlina/05012010420.jpg)

Just phoned the out-laws to see if they wanted anything from the supermarkets etc They'd already been out, but said that their local supermarkets already had empty shelves!  :-?  :-?  :-?

Rumour has it that the supermarket has a fresh supply of Polo mints. No doubt there will be a mad rush...

Just walked down to our local petrol station/shop to buy milk and the refrigerator was bare as the delivery hasn't turned up.

We bought wine instead  ::)

I've been in -45oC including the wind chill where Pera lives - early 80's. We were on a Grey Funnel Liner in the Trondheim Fjord where the water was freezing around us!  :-?  :y Best bit was that we'd in in Barbadous a few weeks before hand.  :-?
