I remember driving my first BJ8 in the winter 1971 and getting stuck in
some deep snow on a turn in the road. (Michelin X, no snow tires) The
snow plow came right on by and pushed it up all around me. I ended up
kicking at it with my foot until I could clear enough to get moving
again. Other times, we'd be driving along the road with snow coming in
between the windscreen and the top seal and it would be hitting me in
the forehead, but my feet were real warm.. Thanks for the reminder.
