Took the jeep out for a spin today (at 9am) with temp at 1.5 degrees or thereabouts. It was sooooo cold. 27 mile round trip took a little under an hour and I was frozen stiff at the end. The worst bit is not how cold your hands and feet get, it's your face! I think if I'd had to speak to anyone I would've sounded like I'd had a skinful, it took ten minutes to unfeeze me top lip.
The jeep however suffered no such handicap and was in fine fettle, running like a top the whole time. Icy roads are a bit of a menace for bar grip tyres though. Most of the country roads that I use were still covered with a nasty thin layer of ice. Made for some interesting cornering and encouraged a high degree of caution with the throttle!
When I got back I took a few pics of the engine bay 'cos it looked real nice.
It'll soon be time to start planning the 2009 refit - better check the piggy bank!
