I still have the chains i used to put on my first TR6 back in the 70s  when i 
needed to drive it to work in snow and ice.

Sunday  night my wife and I returned home after being away someplace warm  for
almost two weeks.  The family car had sat unused in the driveway  all that
time.  It lives outside because in the garage Trevor the TR6  has been resting
while waiting to go into storage. 

So, Monday  morning brings the coldest day
of the year so far here in Vermont, -2  degrees in the morning.  Added to
that was 2 inches of new snow still  falling on top of black-ice covered
roads.  The Saab won't start, and  it won't take a jump from my battery
charger.  So I fire up the  Triumph (no problem there of course) and try to
jump it from that.   No-go.  We need to get going as my wife HAS to be at
work early, and  there's no time to wait for AAA.  So what do we end up 
driving
to work  in?  You got it - the TR6.  All that new body work, paint  job,
and pampered LBC life be damned.  I actually said "It's time to  earn your 
keep
fella."
