Did a run to the tip. Made a few people smile. Had a compost bin sticking out if the roof, which meant it was a chilly drive with zero degree weather.

Still lovely though, such a great driving little buggy.

It's the most amazing car for carrying stuff. I'm not sure how I'd cope without it!

Took the front wings off for a nice clean and lubrication job. Was tempted to wash the bulkhead with the pressure washer at work. The chassis legs came up amazing! But managed to stop before I damaged anything, haha.
It's been so smooth since then.

Also washed and polished it, took the rubber mats out for a couple days so as to be nice and dry now it's stopped raining!

It feels like another winter successfully navigated. The car has been really great and hardly missed a best no matter the weather.

Let my nephew try to drive it, in a private car park. He's 16 now. We both laughed a lot at this little adventure. It's not the easiest car to drive! Hilarious.

Scared the living day lights out of him on corners on the way there, I drive it fast everywhere anyway.
Also hilarious. He didn't say anything, the body language was enough. Hahaha.
