That reminds me of the time I was driving my TR3 to an exam at univeristy, in
the snow, and attempted to pass someone. I caught a wheel and it pulled the
car off course and into the deep snow on a median. By the time we stopped, we
were in snow up to the top of the fenders, and the doors wouldn't open. We
had to remove the side curtains and crawl out. Girlfriend (later wife) very
impressed.
Made the exam, though (by bus). Same TR that taught me that Prestologs make
fine ballast in the winter, but turn into a trunk full of wet sawdust by
spring.
