If Speedycop were home and not out in the Caribbean somewhere I'd love to see the Caddy, the Mark VIII and Prefect #2 covered...

Winter is rough here in San Diego to SEE!!! the price of limes is going through the roof and you can actually see a dark cloud. With a temp of 72 and wind chill factor of 70 we are feeling your pain smile

Ouch.  Best wishes with the underlying car; I've been in that situation.  Last Christmas morning I was awakened by something crashing against the side of my house-- my cheap carport had collapsed from the overnight accumulation of snow.  After cutting away the plastic and pushing the KV out from under the wreckage I took this photo:

The white SAAB 96 took most of the damage (big dents in the roof and left front fender) but the KV also gained a couple of scars.  Happily I have since replaced the carport with another one of the same cheap make and model.  Just rain so far this winter....

Do I really want to send you spare parts after this? Yeah, but you owe me a lime.  smile

You call that snow? I wouldn't pull on boots for that dusting...

Thanks!  Fortunately the MGB was parked far enough up the driveway that it didn't ruin the shot....

Re: Ahhh, winter

I had to move a few of the cars around this weekend and that meant I had to drive the bugeye over to the shop in the snow.  I am pretty impressed at how capable it is.

We are supposed to be in for a huge ice storm tomorrow.
