Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

Hi all

This weekend looks quite snowy across much of the UK, is anyone planning to grab a photo or three of their car in the snow? We had a thread for this a while ago, but photobucket has wrecked that so perhaps time for another try.

This is the A40 Devon I used to run, shown here back in 2006 (was it really that long ago, gulp).

Rick, the Devon looks lovely. Did you use it as a daily driver?

I like the Devon a lot, first car I was offered to restore as a teenager was a Devon.

On the subject of snow, down on the Somerset levels we very rarely get any, my eldest is 11 and snow has only properly settled here once in her lifetime!

Much of the snow had melted by the time I got to take this snap of little Dodge. Saying that, if the forecast is correct, there'll be plenty more of the white stuff around tomorrow for a few more pictures - assuming it stops at some point to let me bring the car out.

At Glen Loth in Sutherland, Scotland a couple of years ago. There was only one set of 4-wheel drive tracks in front of me; a bit foolish really.
It's one of my favourite images of my car.

I used to say, if I was following tyre tracks, I can keep going......If the tracks were Hagglund tracks, best to turn around.

It was -17C that day, but well wrapped up we went out for lunch because the roads were dry.
