Oh that's nasty to think about. You wouldn't really run Ms. Triss in the snow and wet would you?

 

[JPSmit]

never - it makes sense to me that they are unused.

Old dried up recaps. Thise would work well. Not! Could you imagine driving a sprite in a snow storm?

I have done that, it is like a drop of water on a hot stove.

Drove a bugeye to work all one winter in battle creek MI. Snow, Ice and all the rest.

i've driven my sprite in winter while attending school in hazleton PA. Those are my tires! i had a pair just like that and for the most part, the car handled well. i also thoroughly enjoyed doing donuts in the parking lot. i used to race against my roommate to school in his 70 vintage pinto. he used to beat me to school everyday until i swapped out my old 1275 with a newer 74 vintage engine.

I drove an MGB everyday for 6 years in Jersey and Virginia. Good tires and a little weight in the boot and everything was fine.
Drove a 68 Midget for 3 years in NJ. Only problem I ever had was a State trooper who pulled me over on the GSP. Thought I was crazy, driving with the top down on Christmas Eve. Beautiful sunny day, temp around 45, and I had a kick-butt heater
Life was good!!!

We would drive from Buckroe Beach, VA to Pittsburgh, PA. and back on a weekend, twice a month in any and all conditions (albiet in an MGB) for three years straight. No problems.
