Here are my Aston and E-Type sealed for the winter in zipped up bags

They test them in Norway for a reason. Good for you. Although when the white stuff is on the street I just stay home. It's not a great snow plow

We don't have what like you do? Something special about that border line that makes that much of a difference. We got 10' of snow in 2 weeks a few years ago LOL
