Had to go to the local Lowes this afternoon (think B&Q if you're in the UK

) and this is what was in the car park... Couldn't resist taking a few snaps.
Let's hope we're done with snow now so this thing can be packed away. Looks like it might be kind of fun to drive in it's own way though!!

The first picture is fantastic! The perspective view is just right - it looks almost like ad copy! Great job. I had to chuckle when I saw that.

Great pics ... now I know why you wanted to drive your MCS last weekend

Thanks Mike - it helped that where I was taking it from was slightly downhill, so I got a lot of sky in to really show the difference in size. Felt a bit foolish in the back of a busy Lowes parking lot, so it was a little rushed...

Ian, you should see it now it's finally been warm enough to get the Zaino on it..! Yours shamed my Cooper the other week, but I'll challenge you to an S shine off..!! (What do you use on yours by the way..? Was that just washed when I saw it or waxed too..?)
