9 degrees Celsius (48 F) - amazing for December 31 in Toronto. Tomorrow will likely set a record for the warmest January 1 ever. Took Ms Triss out for a run - lots of smiles and thumbs ups on the highway. Spent some quality time together and just as we pulled into the garage, it started to rain. Got her dried off, trickle charger on, top up, cover on and put to bed for the rest of the winter.

79 days till spring.
Spring is coming
 
I took Miss Agathas top off today and put it away in a nice clean diry spot so some other person will have it some day

No tops for us, we Rosdster folks.
 
The roads here in the Pacific Northwest dried out today so I fired off the red thing and got to take one last drive of 2010. With any luck I'll be able to take one again tomorrow for the first drive of the year. It was in the 20s F, but the hard shell is on for the winter, so no problem.
 
S. Cal has had the wettest December since 1889. We really needed rain, but enough is enough. And it should rain tomorrow, but probably after the Rose Parade. Between that and clutch problems, Ruby Redcar has stayed under the car cover the past month.
 
About -15F with quite a bit of snow on the ground. The Midget is tucked away in the garage, behind the snowblower. I did start it and let it run for a while on Wednesday though.
 
Mildest, sunniest winter ever here... and my car is in pieces in garage. *sigh*
 
-8F here today, and lots of snow on the ground. They use a lot of salt on the roads here, so the Tunebug is tucked in the back of the garage until spring.
 
Up to 64 degrees in Dayton yesterday for a while. Unfortunately Bugsy is on jack stands and missing the entire front suspension. I did get notice however that my wishbones had arrived at Apple Hydraulics for rebushing. Guessing that 5 day turnaround after the blizzard just might not happen but I am hopeful.Old Coil Springs go in for Electrolytic Derusting this PM, a couple of days in there and off to paint rest of suspension pieces and get things ready for reassembly.
 
If the sun is out and the roads are dry, I'm driving with my top down, even if the temperature is in the 20's!!! ( I had the heater on )

We took the MGBGT out for breakfast on my birthday (12/31).
It was overcast,& the heater wasn't putting out much heat,but the
car ran well.
Tried to start the TR6 today,but the battery's too low.Still
need to replace the slave cylinder.And it was sunny today.
