Winter driving

[mcbutler]

What a fabulous day in Devon yesterday. Blinding sunshine, wind and average temp of 4 deg C not counting wind chill. So, obviously it's ROOF OFF CRUZIN TIME. Two t shirts, a fleece, scarf and heavy jacket later the start button is pressed and the lovely 6 whines into life. Thermalite beanie hat in place matched with mirrored shades (yes I should have gone to specsavers, because I looked like a complete t_at) and off we go. 45 miles around the South Hams was just right, very little traffic, twisting devon A roads, the satisfaction of matching the 6 speed to the engine perfectly, absolutely fabulous.
Anyone else doing the same or am I alone (and stupid)???

Not alone but a wimp for having the hat - unless that is the windows are down

Not just you mate. Lovely crisp sunshine here too. I'll admit to wearing gloves

I haven't had a chance this weekend but has been down every day on the commute. I find T-shirt (tucked in) thin cashmere jumper then thicker jumper on top, scarf and gloves sorts me out. Windows down as well

Wife has a grey and pink fluffy Koala hat for the winter roof down.... It's either that or roof up, and no way the roof will be up

Not too scruffy is it! Lawn takes some mowing though

Yup count me in, do get a lot of looks though not sure what the thought is behind them.

Oh Yes. Used over a tank of fuel this weekend, just driving around Cornwall and Devon. Next to no traffic on some of my favourite roads. One Scammer Van out on the edge of the moor. But where they should be in a 40mph zone. Never going to get me there.

Shame days like today ever have to end.

Please say yes, I am running out of ideas..

On, you got me, I am a sad and pathetic excuse of a man.

Its been a great couple of days for getting out. Doesn't the sunshine make all the difference - and of course the wind direction!

I've driven with the same temp showing on the dash at night as during the day but had to put another couple of layers on just to keep warm. These cool clear days are fantastic but by all accounts here in Norfolk I'll have to shovel the snow off the roof tomorrow before I can go topless.

Thornbury Castle, South Glos. I think it suited the Zed quite well!
