When you head out in the snow, knowing there's a 'base' it's a lot different than waking up in it. But the gravel below makes a substantial difference. Good thing it wasn't mud under the snow (or 2 feet of snow).

Glad you made it down okay, Dave.


My Syncro really, REALLY did not like the cold and wet. I limped home from work at about 20% power. Bad coil exacerbated by wet weather, I think. I also checked the ICV and the harness wires disintegrated in my hands. Someday there will be no more parts to replace...


Thanks Joe, well you are the right person for that van. Most guys wouldn't know where to start.
