Well............
It was 18 deg here the other day and the sun was shining, I thought it was finally warm enough for the 32 to be brought out.I ran to town and got insurance and planned on going on the first run the next day.
It snowed the next day and it is snowing today also.
I couldn't wait,so I went for a run in the snow today after moving a ton of stuff to get the car out of the shop.Here are a few pics of todays run.
IM STILL COLD WITH A SMILE FROZEN TO MY FACE!

Hey Kelly, I drove to the coast last night. Got lucky I guess, it only snowed a little just south of Merritt, but on the return, they closed the Coquahalla from Hope to Merritt, they got 7 inches at around Larson hill I heard, so I took the canyon. Took 12 hours what should have been a 8 hour run. There was all kinds of accidents on both the hwy 5 and 5A. Glad I didn't go that way.

You're a brave man there Kelly, if you have a storm curtin just on 1 side it makes a lot of difference, it crates a pressure spot inside the cab and it's no where near as windy, it might be worth having for the time you and the wife are out and get caught in a storm, she will stay dry and you wont get as wet.
Neat pics though and good to see you are out and about enjoying the roadster.
Cheers, John

looks like you had fun, Kelly. I couldn't bring myself to put the 34 out in the snow today, just an excuse so I could take the day off from working on the 33.
