fatbaldbloke Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I don't expect to win but I'll start things rolling...I was out in the Westie at 11.00am on the dot doing a spot of engine datalogging...and it was bl00dy cold (datalog shows air temperature at -2.8)! 20 minutes later and back indoors with a coffee but I have that first 10 miles of the new year under my belt. Come on then, someone must be able to better that... Quote
dhutch Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Nice, woke at 9.30, out of bed at 10, and padding around outside in boxers and tshirt in the frost with sisters new DSLR (shes away for the day) however im now sadly back inside and working on uni work without having even peeped inside the westfeilds trailer. Gits! Daniel Quote
NumberoftheBeast Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I was out at the turn of midnight in my Westy, watching the fireworks from up in the country. Ok, only joking. It's freezing out there but I might venture out later! Quote
James Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Too much b****y salt! Our council has gone crazy on the stuff this year so the car is tucked away until April at least. Plus it's b****y cold! Quote
pistonbroke Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Must be a full moon all the nutters out blattin in sub zero's Quote
Welly Jen Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Out at 10 this morning in the Westy for a 130 mile trip back from seeing my folks for all the seasonal stuff . Was it cold? Yes it was! Left the sidescreens at home too. Now sitting in front of the fire trying to get warm again. The trip over on Christmas Eve was fun. Dry roads and relatively warm. The journey back today, less so... Car didn't miss a beat all the way there and back. Jenny Quote
combatsapph Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Just got back in after a 50 min datalogging session :-) Quote
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Got five minutes down the road today and thought sod this - back home and swapped motors Quote
V8grunt Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Whimps! "Grunt" has been in "Cacoon" mode whilst.... My wife and I, have been in the Dominican Republic for 2 weeks...... I was out in "Grunt" in minus 3% yesterday, up past "Alton Towers" main gate, and back, Alton Village still thinks it's under attack from a stray German Bomber! Quote
Bean Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Do I win the lazy b*****d award for not getting dressed until 3pm? It was an awesome night though Quote
Tim Reid Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I can beat that Bean... woke up at 11:45 out of bed about 12:30 dressed at 3:50 just before the wife got home from work. I was still p****d though! Quote
Bean Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Damn it! However, I did get in at 2am, collapsed on sofa and woke up 6am, went to bed for 1.5 hours then got up to cover the work pager still p****d! Quote
chappers Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I drove 10 feet this morning at 6.00am down the drive before I stalled it 'cos the engine needs its cold start map tweaked, and then it wouldn't start at all after that . Luckily managed to push the car back up the drive and bundle the kids in the car in their pyjamas and catch up my commuter coach to London...not that I want to be working today. At least after i fit my new xmas PC680 battery tray I'll be able to get to the +ve terminal without having to take the nosecone off. Quote
