Yes I went to Tesco's in the Volvo shopping with the wife!
I cant take the Viento out as there has been a thin carpet of snow in Cambridge, and the roads are nasty in places with patchy ice where it hasnt had
the sun on it (was very thin compacted snow).
Nice day for it, but just not worth the risk..
Damn you ! But hope you had a good time, I'm envious
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Roll on more dry days.

I've been trying to set the Indy up so as to give me some self centering steering. This did mean several trips up the road (Private) to
"test" the results of the adjustments.
We also had a flurry of the white stuff but it's been a lovely sunny "crisp" day and a longer blat would have been great I think.

Yes quick trip "round the block" at about 4.00pm. Didnt have any choice really, rolled the car out onto the drive this morning so that my
son could change the oil on his tintop. The drive is on a slight slope, so when it was time to put it away, no one there to help push it into the
garage, so had to go round the block(about 10miles) to put it back, it would have been rude not to!

I took a swift trip round the block yesterday. Nice to get out after not using the MK for a couple of months, but it was a bit chilly.
Maybe next week will take a run over Exmoor and take some pics.

Not today (too much salt), but I waited for a gap to go for a test drive yesterday, and so picked my daughter up from school on the way home. Jolly
cold, but it was worth it just for the gobsmacked look on her school-mates faces as they walked out!
Should keep her in street-cred for a few weeks, as a hard-core car nut...!
