After weeks of damp salty roads, last week we had heavy rain that rinsed the roads and today the temperature was 13 degrees Celsius. Just had to take the TR out for its first drive of the year, so now I am feeling like my weekend is complete! I don't think I have ever driven it before in January! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/driving.gif
 
Good for you, Nick.... you had better luck than me. My first drive of the year, I got a speeding ticket from a particularly zealous peace officer. @#*&%&!
 
Bad luck, I have always found the police are very lenient with older cars here. I have managed to talk my way out of parking tickets, lack of road tax and missing number plates!
 
13*C is quite balmy this time of year for Nick
of the North. Fantastic you got to drive!!
We Scots are a determined bunch, ain't we ?

I hope yours was like my spin today in Amos:
Top down, shorts, tee shirt, sandals, cap
and dark sun glasses.

Just about. Top up, sidescreens on and warm clothes! Didn't bother with the heather, though!

When all else fails, marry a girl who hails from the Dales and schooled in Wales - she'll be tough as nails!!!
 
Still mid minus 30's and a wind now also.
Not surprising there's a lack of LBC spotting in Edmonton; I can't see anything for the ice fog caused by car exhausts!
