Its Suzi in the snow, on Saturday somewhere in between Cookham and Burnham Beeches, man it was good powering up those hills where others dared to tread, it was cold though

Cheers, Tim

It was great fun, like you we only had one night of it, but i had to go to West London to see some family so i took one of my favourite short cuts to avoid the motorways and A roads, and i guess as is very steep single track in places, most people did not even bother to try and climb the hills or use the roads, some was pretty fresh. It had all melted on the way back though, so a real lucky, if fleeting find.

Now i must sort the diff, and it will be a happy car

whines from about 15mph, deafening at 20 mph, scary at 25 mph, really really scary at 30 mph, at 35 its clinch your teeth and feel your biceps and fingers tighten time, and at 40mph, you can hear the man from star trek saying " she canny take any more captain! "

Just waiting for a loud bang, and a clattering noise.

Its so scary i have only driven it once, and I'm too scared to drive it again, in case it trys to kill me.
