Love the front picture Dan! I was about to roll my Dino out today for a shot but we don't have nearly that amount of snow down here in Kirkland. I'll just enjoy your photos instead.
Dan, We have similar snow piles here in Western NY. Not exactly Dino weather. I think that you might want to consider earmuffs for the air vents on the C-pillars! Fred
i drove the dino around the block on compact snow , it sure collected snow in the inner rear fenders !
Around 1984 or 1985, Peter Egan wrote an illustrated account of the transportation of a Dino from the midwest to California, in winter. It was titled: "Dino, Car of the North." In it, he wrote that the Dino's heater had all the strength of mouse breath blowing on your feet, or something to that effect. Speaking of snow collecting under the fenders, I am amazed by the numbers of small stones that collect behind the rear wheels and in front of the front wheels, in the bellypan area. About once a summer, I crawl around the front and rear of my Dinos and knock the stones onto the garage floor. Fred
fred i remember that article. think a farmer had to pull them out of a ditch somewhere. funny how much heat comes into a dino cockpit when you don't want it , like an 80 degree day ! dan
Dan, Many is the summer day when I exit one of the Dinos after unsticking my shirt from the seatback. Dino AC is about as effective as Dino heating. As they used to say in Italy (translated): "Use the 4/80 method: open 4 windows and drive 80 kph!" Fred
I like how the color of the Dino is separated from the almost B&W surroundings; really makes it stand out. Great pics.
scott, i'm ready for some blue sky and sun , actually rain wouldn't even be bad....? happy holidays ! dz
