Just couple pics again to share the real winter with you all "Southern-Something" guys !

500km in 0?C weather took its toll on last Monday. Drove back home on Friday and washed my car today.
Well, nothing new, but here we go again .









Now 2 weeks at home, aaaaaaahhh......

I washed my car on Friday afternoon, and even did an extra hand wash on the wheels/tires in my garage Friday evening... 160km round trip drive out to the "summer cottage" in the islands today, and I can't tell that it is the same car.

It was too dark to take any pics when I got back home, but I will give it a try tomorrow.

As always, looks great Anza. I guess it'll look good so long as it stays "Finland-Style-Cold."

Well I'm glad to see that your car actually does get dirty.
In every picture I've seen of it so far in the snow, it was always spotless.

Haha! It does... ...sometimes ! When temperatures go up to 0?C it's a mess.
But fortunately we went back to more normal readings :
