Mines still legal, would have gone out today but Trinny and Suzanna, read wife and daughter dragged me off to town to buy a pair of glasses that I can be seen out of the garage in. Bloody women

Went for a run out to Oulton today to have a gander at the trackdayers that were there!

It was a good (short) blast!!!

Im still using mine at the moment, it is actually the only car i have on the road at the moment as my tintop failed MOT so am having to rely on it.
I went out for a ride around the local lanes on thursday but the roads were thick with mud so i now have a mainly brown coulored car, the roads are also very slippery even when they appear to be dry so have to be a bit carefull but its good fun even so.

As long as there's no snow on the ground and it's not hoofing down with rain, I'm out there whenever I can.

Was out for an hour earlier, wasn't even that cold

Every day, rain or shine

Still taxed, use it all Winter whenever weather allows

As the weather's been so miserable the past few weeks I've decided that it's time for the car to have its annual inspection & service - covers off, good look around, greasing what needs it, oil change, the lot. I'll probably fit my bike carbs, as well as a few other jobs I've been saving up.

The sun'll come out for the next few weeks, you just watch...

Got annoyed whenever the car was off the road last year and the weather was good, so this year it's staying taxed all winter.

Even experimented yesterday with turning the boost up, seeing as it was such a lovely day with dry roads. 12psi seems to equate to first and second gears being relegated to tyre-warming duties. It really is bloody fast.

Got a trackday booked at Bedford on the 15th Dec, so I'm hoping for one of those crisp sunny winter days we seem to get so rarely. Driving 100 miles each way and spending all day on track won't be so much fun in a sleet-storm...

I love driving in the winter (apart from the cold hands) - the car's so responsive, and there are fewer dozy, rubber-necking tourists to get in the way...

Mine is also taxed all year round. As long as its dry and no salt out there It gets used.

As said earlier, carefull with the right foot!.

I dont have a windscreen either... so its Bike Helmet (every time, even in summer) and full biker gear.

Get some funny looks... but still turns the heads..

I was given some proper biker gloves by an ex-biker after I whinged about cold hands to someone. They seem a LOT better than my OMP nomex ones, for keeping the cold at that is.
