Re: First Viper drive of \'05
Unfortunately where I am we dont get much snow, I'd love a couple of feet for a few weeks but the normal winter is now a couple of frosty crispy mornings with a few inches of snow if were lucky that usually disappeared within a couple of hours. Last time it snowed heavily and lasted for a couple of days was around 13 years ago and the whole country ground to a halt. Global warming I guess.
I'm smack in the middle of England, well 10 miles from the center, you cant get more land locked although its still only a couple of hours in the viper to the closest sea. It's a bit rural,luckily my village is in a green belt area
which means no new buildings/construction are allowed without permission which is very hard to get from the government its also in the middle of a protected nature conservation area. Most of the surrounding roads are B roads like the pic above, with good access to the major motorways not that far away.
The viper for me like everyone over here isnt there main mode of transport, I use a GM
small 4x4 to do the donkey work, and the GTS is a weekend/summer evening type car. Jumping from left to right hand drive has caught me out a couple of times, opening the passenger door (to drive) then looking a plonker I grab something and cooly walk around to the drivers side
Vanity plates are available, but all the good ones went years ago, and now are really expensive. The most paid I believe for a plate was $240K for K1NGS
and that was a number of years ago, the V1PER plate I suppose is the ultimate you could get for a viper here sold at a auction a few years ago for $44K
oh well thats enough waffling off to bed...it is 2am...
