Last night we had frost of minus 10 deg. C near the coast and inland was
frost of minus 16!
Salt like hell, my BRG (?) Audi has turned into a two tone - mostly white
grayish.
I don't dare to get the BGT out with it's chromed ww.
Fun for LBC's in the Netherlands:
Next weekend is the annual British Car and Lifestyle fair in my town and
also in the same weekend the MGCC organises it's annual parts exchange - new
year event.
Cheers,
Hans
