Robert yes my plans are not to repeat last year. Cheers Phil PS Still having trouble embedding you tube videos.

A very different Christmas for us this year. Instead of all the cooking, cleaning and making beds for visitors we drove to Canberra and had a catered lunch at the Ainslie football club. Nice and relaxing and no kitchen work.
All the best for the new year.

Merry Christmas to everyone.
Like Phil I took my running vehicle out for a spin. Maybe XMas 2018 I'll have the CMP out.

Merry Christmas to all.
It's way to cold to be even leaving the house today, and tomorrow will just be worse. And this is supposed to continue into the following week. Forget about driving any CMPs around for the next while...it would be life threatening. I will abandon ship come the New Year and head for Mexico. https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/mb-52_metric_e.html |

Thanks for the link to Canadian Weather link, fun to see what the weather is in different parts of Canada. Here is the US version NOAA site http://f1.weather.gov/MapClick.php?l...8#.WkJDiJgo7ML Right now it is a balmy -9 C here in Temple, NH this morning. You can change the location of the forecast location top left corner. Cheers Phil

Hi Jordan Great photos, your photo answers a question I've had about the litter Jeep version for years. Are the litters carried on the windshield and from your photos can clearly see that they are not. Have you ever had anybody ride on the rack, wonder what the ride is like? Does it seem to sway side to side? Cheers Phil Hi Robert Hows the Carrier do in snow does it want to slide side ways? With all the air blocked off the engine could come up to temperature, how about the driver or was it just layers on layers. Couple days before this latest snow we had an ice storm on top of couple of inches of snow. The freezing rain really laid down a layer of ice under this latest puffy powder, easy to break traction. Glad other people enjoy getting out in the cold with their MVs. Cheers Phil

Hi Phil , driving the Carrier in the snow feels like being a deer trying to walk on a frozen lake . Over steering will send you off the road . Braking is worse . Nice traction when in a straight line , no slippage but turning and braking demand planning and caution. There were snow and ice tracks available called snow grousers . Now i know why. As for the cold , not any worse than snowmobiling , you just have to put on layers as you said , a lot of layers ...All the best .
