Hi TDM,

Got your PM, haven't forgotten you.

To answer your question............. we didn't get any further, we actually started to slide back. This was taken at the Flüelapass near Davos, halfway up.

The weather was 20c and heavy rain at the bottom of the valley, a quarter of the way up it started sleeting and halfway up............ snow!!!!!!!! Really thick, sticky stuff. We literally spun the car (carefully) like a game of spin the bottle around (physically) and crept down with our tails between our legs but had a good snowball fight at the bottom!!! LOL

Ah, yes that would have been out of a can but.........




It's a wrap. Got to be removed after 8-10 months.

The wrap is fantastic. My vote is you re-wrap it in the same Martini colors.
