AT least I don't feel the cold, skinny bloke.  Mind you, the amount of sugar you get through, how come you're not my size. Life's not fair ;D

Driven it through some pretty crap road conditions... Drifting snow and black ice ::)

As usual, perfectly manageable but was very twitchy at times :-X Mind you, I haven't got anywhere near as much weight in the back as normal and I haven't dropped the tyre pressures ::)

Fired up the LC and moved it back into to garage. Front tyres are so perished it they won't hold air. I was expecting that anyway.

Left the '54 at home, cleared the snow of the '03 and promptly fitted my 17"s with snow proven tyres and drove to work...

Looked out the kitchen window several times today ;D thinking I really should refit the n/s camcover with its new gasket and seals I bought on Monday,but then decided it was too cold ;) :( and after a "risk assessment" the warm house and the kettle won . :y

Maybe tomorrow :) as it looks like a better and warmer day :-\

Noticed a strange squeal in TBE every time I went around a corner. Had to keep finding corners to locate it, seemed to be worse if it was faster, and extreme when the car wouldn't grip.

Traced it to something in the passenger seat. Turfed it out, problem solved.
