New Years 2022 Challenge
Hi All
To mark the New Year I would like to issue the following Challenge How Many CMPs Can We Take For A Drive On January 1st 2022? Who will be the first to post a picture or video of their drive? Who will be the last? This year to correct for the time Zone Difference please include the local time of your drive. I first made this Challenge back in 2016 and it has been my way of starting the New Year. For me the challenge has been will it be me or the trucks that fail to start. So far it has been my HUP that has been willing to each year. The Challenge is my way of starting a New Year of driving and enjoying CMPS. Cheers and Happy New Year to everyone. Phil Disclaimer No CMPs are injured by taking them out on to salted roads.

up to it
hopefully i'm up to it, could be more of a challenge as this is only the third time in 34 christmases in this house that we have had a white Christmas. Snow wrecks absolute havoc in this neighbourhood.

Good idea the challenge. Here Summer has us with more than 30 degrees Celsius and a very pleasant climate to drive a CMP with the excellent factory installed air conditioning (read open windshield and windows out !!) I will not be the first day of the year with the FGT, but Maybe a few days later I can take a walk around the neighborhood.

I am ready for it.......
My C15a was checked out a week or so ago.....tanks topped up, oil checked, antifreeze tested at -40 F....... all ready for the New Year spin.
Some years are more challenging depending on the depth of the snow....but last year and so far this year it should be a cake walk......cool without the top but the engine warms up fast as I usually use a piece of cardboard to block the grill to speed up the initial warm up to 165F...... I try to stay off the salted roads and limit my driving to the vacant back 40 acres...... with Joyce the official photographer...... Cheers

Accuweather is forecasting -36°C here for New Years morning. I think I can state I will be in last place for any contest to drive the CMPs this year. Just walking out to the shed will be challenging.
Good luck to all the others who will brave their respective climates on this endeavor.
