| only the beak of the T-Bird visible |
Driving back from Hamilton after coffee with friends was particularly challenging. I avoided the high winds on the Skyway bridge over the entrance to Burlington harbour. Instead I took the unplowed and unsalted road along the lake. Slow going but the Lincoln handled it with relative aplomb, as long as one had a delicate touch with the accelerator.
The next mourning, two plus hours of shoveling and car moving about, oh and in heels. Wouldn't want my crazy neighbour to think I am nothing but a helpless woman.

You'll hate me for exclaiming at the wonderful crisp white crunch snow. But it's very wet and muddy here at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I'm happy on unsalted snowy British minor roads, but only in a tiny turbocharged front-wheel-drive European hatchback. The idea of doing it in a RWD monster is simply scary :)
The Lincoln and Cadillac Seville (FWD) have low highway gears so not too bad but the higher geared T-Bird would be a death wish.
ReplyDeleteJust watched On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Diana Rigg drives a 1969 rear drive Cougar XR7 with a 428 Cobra Jet on snowy Swiss Roads, that girl could drive!!!!
I stand corrected, I was unaware the Lincoln was FWD.
ReplyDeleteOh no Lincoln is RWD, Seville is FWS
ReplyDeleteYou would love it here in Southern California. The only snow I ever see is on the mountaintops.
ReplyDeleteAnd all the rust free old cars.....I would be like a kid in a candy store
ReplyDeleteYou leave them OUTSIDE!? I had visions of a nice dry barn...
