Re: [doc] driving?

Spot on Rich, I have been using LJH as my everyday transport for a 
35 mile roundtrip to work. Its been out in the Snow and it handles
well with the weight over the rear.
I have had some starting problems but this appears to be down
to (lack of coil cover) and 20+ year old ignition items giving up i.e.
coil. All predictable stuff. 
 I using this year as a shakedown for the car so I can replace items
that fail.
 The car is not fragile, just pick up any 20+ year old car and it 
will have problems with stuff wearing out.
 I think the car looks even more menacing dirty! but give it a good
jetwash regularly.
Its catch 22, if you store the car you can get more trouble with
other parts of the car, like brakes and fuel system.

Regards
Nick H
