Winter night driving
Just been out for a 1.5 hour blast in sub zero temperatures in the dark while it was pi**ing it down. One word - awesome!
I got completely soaked and my face was black with dirt but I had a great time! The roads were dead as well which makes a change.
I've decided on my next modification as well now - a wind deflector!

You need therapy. Wait till you see the state of the car in daylight, you will clean that mess up.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Thankfully you got back in one piece (she says missus!). The seven isn't exactly designed for winter night driving is it?

I'm not sure how cold it was last night but I felt surprisingly ok-ish driving round in just a warm top. I tried to wear a hat but it kept
trying to fly off!
I knew it wouldn't be the best conditions on the roads so I was just taking it easy, more a cruise round than anything else. There wasn't
any point in flooring it anyway, the wheels just spun, even in 3rd!

Me and my 10 yr old daughter went out for a bit on boxing day, it was somewhere near 0 degrees and believe me, it was cold.
We only went out for about 45 mins, she had a thick scarf covering most of her face and also a hat on, I was stupid enough to go out with a pair of
shades !!
She was fine, warm and I was freezing, keeping speeds below 40mph so I didn't black out 
Still, enjoyed every frozen minute of it

I took mine out for a little local blast the other evening - spent most of the time going sideways under power
Next one will have windscreen heater and sidescreens!!
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

Where in Sutton are you, I'm just off for a spin and could drive by.

I live in Walmley which is a few miles out of Sutton, but only about a 5 minute drive. Shame I missed you, I was out driving at the time!
The more I drive it the better it gets, it really feels like it's bedding itself in nicely. Just put some Optimax in today as well which should
hopefully give the engine a bit of a boost
