lol buying a cossie in winter is dangerous....bought mine December 21st 2001...and in the first wk end I got completly snowed in at my mates out in the sticks, had to drive back on original and very much hardened D40's Apart from that, it was a complete let down initialy...had a few teething problems mainly thru to her being parked up for 6 yr doing nowt, that and it being a hell of alot slower than my zvh escort of the time sort of took the iceing off the cake. Got attached to the old gert now tho
