twobone Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 So I headed out to the start of season british parts fleamarket in Ancaster, Ontario, Canada yesterday. Rain, snow, a little bit of sun and then.... hail blowing sideways so hard, it pushed thru the side screens and into the cockpit. Oh well. The funny thing is that the Seven has a remarkably comfortable little cabin with the roof up, the doors on and with the heater going. I'm sure I made a funny site driving thru the snow storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slomove Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Don't blame Canada; you can have that even in Southern California. A week ago I participated in the Targa California road rally (actually more a fun road trip) with some 80 other semi-classics (pre'75 mostly Porsche and Alfa, incl. replicas). Temperature was only in the 40s for 2 days and driving through the coastal range we got pelted with hail and even some sleet. The bikini top helped a little but the hail blowing in from the side really hurt in the face. Actually we won a $250 gift voucher prize for being the most crazy participant driving an open car such weather. Just bad timing, the week before it was 80-some degrees....

danilo Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 At least in Kalifornia... the Gummit does not pour 22 Milllion Metric tonnes of Salt on the roads ..each year... like Ontario does. You have to see to believe what that does to cars.. let alone the Aquifer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trough doctor Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Congratulations twobone for being nominated ( by me) as the most psychotic seven owner in Canada. Its one thing to get caught in such weather, but to start out in these conditions nowing full well what lies ahead is quite another. Hats off to you for taking advantage of every opportunity to put some miles on your cat. How was the flea market? Did you buy anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobone Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 The fleamarket was good. Lots of vendors at a big indoor hall. Bought some small stuff and some Lotus books including a great little history book on the development and results of the Lotus 49. It was written in 1970 by David Hobbs. Those drivers were brave!
