Not the most flattering angle. I forgot to turn on the preheat, this was clean yesterday.
Pretty comfortable driving this in the snow but would expect it'd stop better with full on winters
Is that where you park when the battery is empty?

It was after all the preheating this morning!Passed a good five cars either broken down or in a tree.

Working hard yesterday. You don’t even notice the weight in the back - it was slow without a load, and it’s still slow with one

Looks awesome though!

Picked up on Saturday, my new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. Hemi 6.1L.
RX8 will be going in the coming weeks and I can't find a picture of my 350Z Roadster weirdly lol... and I have my Mazda Xedos 9 Supercharger Miller.

That's the only reason he bought it.

Currently enjoying heated seats and wheel in this cold. Must be turning 98.
How is life with the Giulia?
Given my sensible head choice of car fell through last weekend, I'm seriously considering one - Almost bought one pre-covid and think its time I pulled my finger out and got one bought!

It's perfect cannot fault the car at all 
The whole dynamic of just getting in the car and driving is always an event. Gearbox, engine, steering is all pin-point and fun and engaging to drive. Not sure if a heavier diesel engine would change that but been RWD it's quick off the line. Try and get the 2.0T 280 Veloce and fall in love with driving again!
If you have any specifics just give me a shout. Piccadilly Motors in Ripon have the same Veloce atm brilliant service center.

Theres one of these near me that obviously has an aftermarket valved exhaust.

Yeah cheers man, I'm falling in love with the thing just simply because it's so stupid. The way it launches off the line is mental, I posted this the other day on my thread but it hit 0-60 in 4.9s in the pouring rain... I mean... jesusTheres one of these near me that obviously has an aftermarket valved exhaust.

It's definitely a thing in some states, and certain parts of the border zone, but not where I live. I used to have a range rover which I drove all over the country and to the US multiple times with no issues, and I still drive 40-50k cars fairly regularly with no problems either. As you say though, a definite advantage of the truck is that everyone thinks you're poor.
Like everywhere, a lot of staying safe is about common sense: I always use the toll roads when I drive between states, and would never drive to small, out of the way places late at night for example. For me, following those kinds of rules is a small price to pay for the benefits I get from living here, but of course it isn't for everyone.

Couple of mine, plus a toy! They all need cleaning but man it's miserable weather.

Nice Taxi, do you live on an industrial estate? Just seems like an odd mix of a single house then factory units?

Thanks, sounds good. My nearest dealers are Mangoletsi (Knutsford) and Beechdale (Derby). I've ran the PCP numbers and they're pretty horrific, so at best I think I'll hold on until after lockdown!
Another poster was talking about part of France where they live (west side) I dropped into street view out of curiosity was quite a weird mix of commercial/residential as well not like we have here really but what I found amusing was how many instances there were of decrepit, literally falling apart, residential places with expensive cars outside (Audi RS, Mustangs, etc.) then really nice houses with older basic model Citroens, etc. on the drive.
