I still have the chains i used to put on my first TR6 back in the 70s when i
needed to drive it to work in snow and ice.

Sunday night my wife and I returned home after being away someplace warm for
almost two weeks. The family car had sat unused in the driveway all that
time. It lives outside because in the garage Trevor the TR6 has been resting
while waiting to go into storage.
So, Monday morning brings the coldest day
of the year so far here in Vermont, -2 degrees in the morning. Added to
that was 2 inches of new snow still falling on top of black-ice covered
roads. The Saab won't start, and it won't take a jump from my battery
charger. So I fire up the Triumph (no problem there of course) and try to
jump it from that. No-go. We need to get going as my wife HAS to be at
work early, and there's no time to wait for AAA. So what do we end up
driving
to work in? You got it - the TR6. All that new body work, paint job,
and pampered LBC life be damned. I actually said "It's time to earn your
keep
fella."
