Re: [MV] Off-roading the deuce

I would love to, however

1: It is not quite running yet, and I would like to get the Master
Cylinder in first
2: It's 65 every day here. I would have to head up to Reno. T'would be
hard to convince CHP types that it was
     a maintenance trip <g>

I simply disagreed, and wondered what others thought. I didn't intend to be
insulting to you Bjorn, and am sorry if it appeared that way. I don't
recall any overly difficult problems ( that you would not expect ) driving
on snow/ice while in Korea, which has fairly frozen winters. I do recall
my moustache freezing and breaking off when driving a tug to the flight
line one fine morning.

Regards
