G'day

I have always driven my Austin-Healeys during winter. Down to the beach
for a swim. Up into the mountains for some cool air.

Some times the weather is so adverse that I have to wear a jacket.
Terrible!

That rings a bell - I never drove my Healey all through a Canadian
winter,
but I recall having a duff starter one fall when I was holding down a
factory job saving for University.  Each night, at the end of my shift,
I
would wait until the parking lot was clear then push my BT7 across the
flat
lot, jump in and pop the clutch in second to start it.  This went on
through
the fall, but as the temperature dropped through the season it got
harder
and harder to push fast enough to start.  Finally one night in late
November
I could not get it going after exhausting all the energy I had.  The
rest of
the shift had gone and I ended up calling my Mum for lift at 1 AM.
After
that I had to scrape the money together for the starter - no way I was
going
to face Mum's wrath again!
