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!
