Yeah.......THAT Manchester !
Manchester , England . Th' original one , but , I feel compelled to add , probably not the best one ! We've had snow in late November , not as much as the last 2 winters , which have been severe by our standards - overnight temps of -20/22 . Celsius , that is . Currently frosty for a few days , but the local authorities are going overboard with the road salting , even tho' the roads are dry and ice risk is minimal .We keep hearing how this winter is going to be a bad 'un , but up to now , we've done OK , been very mild . Still not worth getting the 'Vette full of salt , I'll save my insurance -limited mileage for better weather , although if you're a betting man , you would'nt bet on that here in the U.K. I would'nt mind bad winters if there was a payoff of good summer weather ,when it does come together occasionally , it can be very sweet here . Rare ! All the sweeter in the 'Vette , top-down or not . We live in hope ,and , lets face it , there's worse places to be . Helphos , I take it yours is Polo green ? Strange coincidence is , I've always thought the C4 to be the best looking of 'Vettes ,and my fave colour was Bright Aqua , there used to be a 'vert in this colour near to where I live , but with a black top and interior , last time I saw it was in the Isle of Man in '02 . What happened to it I don't know .So you can imagine I was stoked to find my car was this colour . Was'nt sure about the white top and interior , thought it may be a bit "Saturday night fever" if you see what I mean , but in the flesh it's a rather different affair ,still looks tasteful , to my eye . Strangely enough , part 2.....I also got the 'Vete bug and found mine while I was 53 . Maybe that's when the dormant gene for latent "Vette-ism" triggers and , as the saying goes "Resistance is futile " . That be my excuse , and I'm sticking to it .
