The end of the year is approaching. This means the traditional Christmas songs are playing on the radio. Snow is falling and the cars are locked up in our sheds. But there are always a few brave men and of course women (or shall we call them crazy) who drive trough the winter. Next Sunday the 100 miles of Amsterdam will be held on the night of 17 December. More than 50 pre-war cars conquer the cold winter night. As we are in the organisation of the event, we can unfortunately not participate ourselves. But when we looked out the window this morning, we saw the first snow. We took our chance to have some car fun. As a couple of kids we quickly got our warm clothes, and snow-boots and jumped in the car. The car we took was a 1934 Riley Lynx 14/6 which, with its pre selector gearbox, is a very easy car to drive and perfect for a slippery day of fun. Although there are some people who though we were crazy. We had such a great time on an abandoned parking, a few roundabouts and narrow country lanes. As you can read we use our cars the whole year around. What do you do? Do you use the winterperiod for some TLC or do you drive though winter wonderland? |
