Well... Gotta be brave and use the damn things, they're cars not ornaments you know.. !!!! :thumbup:


Got a few plans in the pipeline for the winter and spring if poss:
bit of bodywork tidying,
lower front suspension arms maybe fit solid Delrin bushes to match the uppers,
Rear leafs might fit solid spherical bushes in the front eyes, makes a big difference apparently,
Maybe 6 point roll cage, still deciding if I can live without rear seat access,
I've got my rear disc brake kit to fit too, but will wait and change the rear gears at the same time,
Would love to fit adjustable roll bars too, but doubt if it'll be that soon..

That's about it really..

No but auto's in these conditions makes for 200% concentration on the bends! Not moved mine off the driveway yet although itching to go make some noise and try out the K&N filter!

What was it like driving home?

And is Boxing day madness on this year?

I remember my IROC being a handful in the snow being an Auto, and with only 1/2 the power of my pink beastie..!!

Driving home was interesting, took ages cos of people struggling, but managed OK considering.. 8-)


Oh Yes, boxing day's on far as I know... (Unless it's actually snowing..)

Well, I eventually decided to test the car on the road in these wintry conditions yesterday, and after struggling to get it off the driveway before switching the ASR off :oops: temporarily... the car was not too bad on the main roads, surprisingly, but not sure I would want to drive it every day with the weather as it is, at the moment
