), so the poor thing has to plough through the snow like all the normal cars <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
It's handling it great though, it doesn't like the -25 degrees Celsius very much, but it starts nice and once it gets the steam up all is fine. (Probably taxes the engine like hell though
) I'm currently looking into getting a fuel heater (Webasto or Eberspächer) for it to ease some of the cold start pain a bit, as this winter seems to only get colder.
Anyway, it's a world of fun driving a rear-wheel drive car with this kind of horse power in the winter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> Really brings out the child in me!
