It is going to be below zero here, I will think about the fact that it is out there somewhere and I may see it in a couple months. I wonder how many nutcases will end up in the hospital in NYC for the ball drop tomorrow night with frostbite or worse. Alcohol and subzero conditions are a bad combo.

Drove mine in the snow last week, in the bitter cold the other day and in the lovely mild cool air today to go fetch groceries. No doors. No side curtains. No heater. No dramas. If you don't like the weather in Texas, just wait five minutes.

AND....I may drive it to the New Years festivities tomorrow night.

It's near freezing and there's a heck of a wind blowing. So, naturally, I just had to go out for a drive. WooHOO!

Happy New Year, lads.

Cheers,

My New Year's resolution this year is the same one I have every year, CONQUER THE PLANET AND ENSLAVE THE ENTIRE POPULATION.

This one burns a little more than 70 gal an hour and operational cost is in the range of 40$ a minute. But it is just a shear pleasure to fly and it is fast, 160kn which is around 185mph...

Remember, I drove race cars my whole life and you know the motto for speed. Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go? :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: :twisted: :twisted:
So all I need is a LOT of money, oh, a couple flying lessons might be in order too.
