Just dug the old gal out and ran the engine for 20 minutes till the temp guage was in the middle. Put the number plate in for scale, and it's about 5 1/2 inches deep.

What is it with Zeds?

When it's sunny, you leave the hard top on :-\ :-\ :-\

This picture was taken last Weds.
I'd removed the hard top to tighten a loose mounting screw and couldn't resist the urge to go for a quick top-down blast.
The eagle eyed will notice the absence of a wind deflector and I can assure you it was bl00dy cold

Temperature is up to -8c with out adding wind chill factor and its snowing....thought it had to be around 0c for that to happen?
Had to go out to get some cigars, bad habit I know, but had some fun in the Z.

Have winter tires, which are surprisingly very good but on the way home I did an unintentional doughnut.
Thankfully no other cars around and I ended up facing the right way..... :)

I have posted this after putting on clean underpants.

Be careful removing the snow from the bodywork. It's easy to mark the paintwork!

Titan you right, I do need to get the roof off, just got back from holiday and the Zed had not been driven in a month, took the oppotunity to go for a blast, as it had been raining for a couple of days :coolsteer) Looks like you guys are really having a bad time with the snow, watched the Man united Spurs game yesterday evening, snowing through out the game :(

Makes you laugh seeing people getting snow off their cars using a brush they normally use to sweep the drive with. They obviously don't realise the amount of damage they can cause by doing it :(

I never clean the snow of the body work, just the windows and the lights.
Does p*** some people off though who are driving behind you........ :D

Are you sure it's not the neighbours dumping their snow on your drive, Richard? :D
