Got my A4 back on Friday night - (been off the road for a couple of months - its a long story - Ive missed not seeing the old girl in my garage) - couldn't wait to go out for a blast, so I went for a potter this afternoon: blowing an arctic blast :breez - lasted all of 5 minutes thenturned around: bleedin freezin !

Gave her a quick wash down and tucked her away for a while. According to the Met Office the weather is going to turn crappy next week - something about "the beast from the East" arriving (sounds like my mother-in-law)

Yep but it blows cold winds "up north"! Kev.

seriously i suffer with reynards. which gives poor circulation in cold conditions.
I cant use the bloody clutch or brake levers after 5 mins! so it doesnt happen for me in winter
