Driving in this weather.

[BobDrye]

I was going to drive my 7 from my shop to my house today. I didn't make it @ 34 deg. It was exciting for a minute or so, and then the cold set in. What surprised me was the lack of traction. In warm weather the car hooks-up good, but @ this temperature it just spins in the first 3 gears. I'm going to take it apart, reskin, add a front roll hoop, paint and get it ready for the spring.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mazda: I found a little Vaio Sr Notebook to power the daylight display.

I had to move the Birkin to the hanger, about 100' away in the snow today. I just found the reason for Firestone, Firehawk tires. It moved through 4' of snow under it's own power! I have had a few cars if you had them on snow and leaned on them, I think they would have slid out from under you.
