I could not resist taking and posting a couple of photos and in Norfolk we had about 25cm of snow in the last 12 hours! With regards, Matthew T.

Thanks chaps and Dean must be in the only part of the UK not to receive snow! With regards, Matthew T.

Looks like the weight of all that snow has collapsed the springs...

I had been meaning to post these further photos and the appearance reminded me of the XM launch book wind tunnel illustration! Regards, Matthew T.

No wonder such a good drag figure was achieved. That snow cover really emphasises the smooth line from bonnet to screen.

^ That depends on whether it was facing the wind, or the wind was coming from the rear...

It might be better going backwards than forwards...like the Austin Allegro.
