I went to collect the aero today after its first service. I should have looked at the weather first. snow

The factory are taking 2 supersports over the Geneva show. Here's one of them,looks stunning in the flesh. Couldn't see the other though. Im told it had just returned from a shake down in the snow along the M5. scared



Now for those of you who are still working on colours I found the mock up of Aeromans supersport. Opps I might have let the cat out of the bag. hide


Bright yellow, blue roof and orange leather.


Needless the say the weather was c**p and after 15 mins the car looked like this so we had a eventful journey home. Although I should add it goes better than my BMW in the snow.


But for me the best bit of the day was discovering I'm not alone in my colour selection skills. Spotted on the M5 on the way to the factory.

That must have been an exciting drive home? snow

Unfortunately, you looked at the wrong mock-up Asbo. Bosher's will give you details of the spec once he's back from his holiday trip.

Most things are better than BMWs in the snow! somestick

It wasn't too pleasant yesterday. Took the 90 to work. Over 1/2" of snow in the car park by the time I left at 16:30.

Absolutely nothing in Cheltenham except a bit of rain! Snow on top of the Z3 this morning though, so am in the 90 again. Supposed to be a bit more to come later...

Cheers,

Cheers,


I've come to that conclusion now.

Strange journey yesterday I had a meeting in Chippenham before and on the way to the factory it would change from sunshine to bands of sleet or heavy snow for a few hundred yards and then sun again! confused

Getting home from the factory was fun but needless to say we left the roof up, only had it sideways twice.

Driving in Kent last week, I experienced: snow, hail, bright sunshine and blue skies, rain and black storm clouds, all in the space of 5-miles and 15-minutes. Just bizarre!

Sounds like Scotland to me!

A large scale fruit grower told me last summer that in terms of soft fruits weatherwise Kent has moved to Perthshire and Perthshire to Aberdeen.

As Bob Hope said 'Britain only country in the world that has all four seasons on the same day" - he probably could have added every day

I haven't seen any snow for the last two weeks?

In fact we did have a bit of scare when a rogue white fluffy cloud was spotted one morning and there was a risk the temperature could have gone down to 27C but it quickly passed!

Actually I do tell a lie, there was snow and skiing in one of the shopping malls grin2 that should give a bit of a clue laugh

Asbo, all I can say about Brians spec (and I have 'spilt the beans' on another thread) is that it would have blended into the background really well if I had taken it on holiday with me.
