The Clio room is fully tucked up and trickled charging until the gritters have gone.

No covers or heated garages here I'm afraid chaps...

Oh no Ed - is that a shot you have taken in the last few days - you looked all wrapped up yourself when you came in on Friday - very nice to put a face to all your lovely adventures.
Regards Nick
Ps still looks bloody cool even with snow on it.

Yep your right right there Andy - weather is a bit different up North than the sunny South Coast.

Pretty Wintry scenes up here since yesterday Nick!
I was great to meet you on Friday, many thanks once again for the selection of little goodies, like an early Christmas for the Trophy!
Always good to put a face to folks on the forum for sure, and a really good chat. I'll call by again sometime, perhaps with the Trophy next time.
My Trophy is still in the same place (on my driveway) where it broke down a few months ago. I've chock'd it with bricks and it's staying there until I can be bothered to deal with it again. And to think I was going to put it alongside the Porsche in the heated garage for winter. Too bad. It can stay on the naughty step.

You need to give these cars lots of tlc....Even if it has been a real b4st4rd to you....

Sounds reminiscent of my attitude towards No. 407 during the Summer & Autumn Andy when it was broken (again) and I was having an interminable wait for parts. Hopefully 2023 might be finally when we can get our cars to behave?! I do live in hope.

Please give him a chance like Dave says with a new battery
It sounds like Andy's naughty car could only dream of a lovely waterproof jacket like that
It's not just a case of a new battery sadly, Dave. A new alternator is needed as well, and a diagnosis to find out where/why the electrics are messed up. It's cost me thousands again this year and I've nothing to show for it. It was due a respray but had to cancel because it wasn't drivable. I really can't be bothered with it.
It does, Ed. I think I've about come to the end of my patience with it, unfortunately.
Sadly it's a deeper-rooted problem than just the battery, Nick.

Sad to read that Andy, but I do find it quite understandable. These cars can be frustrating at times, especially when lavished with copious funds and fettling only to stop working again after what seems like a handful of drives.
Mines the daily and is absolutely filthy and looking rather sorry for its self! I’ll get a pic tomorrow…
My weekend cars a Caterham with no roof/doors/windscreen so not the best in winter, it will come out for a blast if we get a dry day though
