I've been out every day in the last week it was a bit cold to start but got warm after 10 mins or so. It only gets cold when i open the window
to throw me fag butts out.

Went out in Scutters little pocket rocket on saturday, I was wrapped up like the artic explorer but I was still cold! Roads we damp and slippery which
made roundabouts great fun.

Went out last week for a quick blat,it was cold but me a hard as nails beer drinking southerner i just put a jumper on.
No grip though it wasnt even that damp but the cold tarmac made all the difference,all i can say lads and lasses is be careful out there or dont
bother getting it out of the garage.
I've plugged the battery conditioner on her and doubt i will go out again till new years day for a meet up.

As Chris say's, we went out Saturday did a 5 mile blat and the tyres where still stone cold.
Got even colder as the light faded on the way home. but yes the cooler air did seem to make a differance to the power of the old boat anchor.

Went out last night in the old landrover. I managed to get the landrover sideways at least 3 times ! Its great being able to turn it into a 2 wheel
drive when its slippery 
"just like that !"

Went out a week or so ago to meet other East Anglian locosters - 'king cold without a screen! Difficult to hold the wheel with 2 blocks of
ice...
The old x-flow does like the cold winter air though.

But at least the pub was nice and warm David. Went out in mine last night after a suspension adjustment , didn't seem too cold especially after
the last outing.

No, I haven't been out in the last week because the damned DVLA won't get off their arse and give me a registration number. It's a
week since my inspection and I'm now fairly keen to get out in my car.

I had to get the car out of the garage, last Saturday, so I could put the ladders back after my neighbour had borrowed them.
As it was sunny I thought I would nip out for a 5 minute drive. Within 1 mile of my house I got nicked for speeding by a mobile van

Bloody NIP arrived this morning - I was doing 46mph in a 40 limit. About 5 yards past a change from 60 to 40 limit as well.
