The 1993 Clipper cabio I didnt know I wanted. It found me.

Proof (if it was needed) that a Clipper is not just for summer;

Cheers and this was the only frost we have had so far. It has rained every day then everything froze on Sunday and its back to rain.

Think I might have used my picture of the month entry for January a bit early.

Its about 1 degree C outside. Its pouring with rain and there is snow on the hills……. Lets go for a drive up hill in a 23 year old cabriolet then

I guess you live up north?
Snow/winter tyres may help?

Glasgow based so further north than most.

Traction was fine with the all weather tyres that are on the car as it was really just wet slush.

And why wasn't the roof down?

I didnt want to ruin the picnic, nobody likes wet sandwiches and Pimms is terribly sensitive to cold temperatures dear boy!

 

Loving this thread, such a great find those door pods are worth more than what you paid for the car!! Wish my clipper had the power assisted stuff they can handle the winter and rain contrary to popular belief! 

I didnt need to go looking for snow this weekend;

Well, staggeringly yesterday was exactly a year to the day that I brought the Golf home.

So to celebrate I dropped the roof (its no more than 7°C outside and heavy rain/snow is forcast) and went for a blast around the farm roads of Eaglesham.

The big downside being I came home with last nights cow feed spattered up my doors;

Might have put it on ebay by accident and now there are a couple of people interested Im not so sure I want to sell it.

Great pics!!

(POTM    )

I am going to start this post with an example of my stupidity.

Sunday morning I rushed out and bought my Mum some flowers for mothers day.

On the way home I stopped for petrol and as the sun was splitting the sky I decided to put the roof down…….Pity I had forgotten about the flowers on the back parcel shelf!

Heres what I saw when I turned round to reverse into my space



What a tit!

At least the outside still looks good, even in the scarier parts of Glasgow.
