Car sounded wonderful. (I owned the 77.5 & 79)

A patch of snow, fog on the hill tops and a lonely drive--perfect.

Yes John!

That "backroad loop" was 270 kms/180 miles. Mixed roads. That video was all wet dirt & gravel.
Went out again yesturday since dirt ol Gramps (the car was so filthy). This time my friend came along, but conditions worsened and the snow came and made it very slippery. Luckily he didn't hit a tree or slide of one of the REAL cliffs 40 meters away from where this happened.


That's me double hatting it because I'm getting wet & cold waiting for my bud to get winched out.

Over here in winters we love slippery roads

There are many ice tracks on the frozen lakes and it is usual entertainment to go on the ice track when you are bored or just to have fun. Everyone drives there, from grown up men and women to little kids. After that barbeque+sauna+jumping into the same lake (with ice removed of course lol).

Finland is just 80km over the water (ferries go in every two hours), I go there at least 2-3 times each year
