Des I have driven that road in the snow but not in my MK-IV. The Mk-IV only raced at LeMans and Sebring. (It won both) Fords did race quite successfully at the Monte Carlo Rally but those were Falcons,and Mustangs. For your second date with Bonnie you should watch "A Man and A Woman" Great shots of a Shelby 350 Mustang driving in that rally and Ford MKI's racing at LeMans. Romantic as well; what more could you ask for? Best Jim |

Sorry to hear that, Barney, i don't ever recall seeing this much snow... You never know, though, some people might actually pay that to see snow plowed with a Ferrari... James, it's nice to know that some people will drive in not-so-nice weather conditions (minus 24+ inches of snow), but i'm sorry you had to >gulp< put 'er down... Can i assume you've been on that same mountain road in the show, yesterday...? i missed the MK IV, was that in the beginning...? i didn't get to turn it on until almost 9:30... & then at ten, i had to flip to the news for my Aunt... |

James Wow - great to hear you put 115,000 miles on your TR! Don't hear to many people saying that. Des I am in Suffolk like you. We went sledding today before I went into work. No place to mount the plow with out leaving holes in my bumper..........hmmmm interesting. Maybe I could charge people $110/hour to snow plow with my Ferrari. |

Des Remember the period footage of the GTO's driving up a mountian road? That was the Monte Carlo Rally. That road often led to snow. The GTO's raced on. Driving my TR in the rain and snow eventually rusted it out but I did have 115,000 great miles before I had to put it down... |

Oh crap... Barney i thought you were serious... Yellow snow... LOL... Barney, are you in Nassau or deep, out east...? Apparently, the news said those waaaay out east won't get as much snow as Nassau or that bordering part of Suffolk... i'm in Commack, so we're waist deep in this crap... You don't have a plow attached to your 308, do you...? LOL...  |

It was sliding all over the place. We used it as a bobsled down an embankment near my house. Just kidding. Made you look. |
