The "Ulster" was my daily transport from Christmas until early March 1997 as I was running-in my new Jogle engine. 3000 miles or so in 10 weeks. No snow but I did spin it on black ice in Cockfosters High Street, much to the amazement of passers by. On one daily commute into London from St.Albans I experienced the worst fog I've ever seen, just outside Potters Bar. For a mile or so I followed the white line down the middle of the road at little more than walking pace; when that ended I found myself tacking from one side of the road to the other, unable to see the verges. Scraping the ice off both sides of the screen was my least favourite chore on frosty mornings.
When we moved the car to Scotland in 2001 Grace and I used it occasionally all year round, regardless of the weather. A lot of fun but the salt was a real killer.
