Upon return from 3 day ski trip at Sunday River Maine. Time is about 9:30pm. Swiss Miss is parked in the street as the driveway needed to be cleared still but i could not resist taking some pictures.



Then after clearing the drive way Swiss went in first, Backwards as the drive way has an upward slope. I then pulled in our other car and again could not resist taking another picture. She looks so mean.



The morning after.

And as far as not having much daylight to shoot with...the good news is that "weather" happens every day!
I definitely used the wrong word - sorry - not a contest......I don't think we can beat those great snow pictures!! Wowza....

Hardingsan, that looks like a fun event -- and educational too! I hope to get to take part in something like that someday. Great pix, everyone!

No actually i just set the camera on the snow hoping that it was pointed upward enough to get a shot and pressed the button.

The result was actually pretty good if i do say so myself.

Thanks! Its been unusually cool and dry down here during the past couple of months. Loving it so far! Come April/May we'll be back in full heat mode (85-90F days and 100% humidity) so might as well enjoy non-A/C open windows motoring while we can!

Very nice ClubmanS!! In Southern California we've been having mid-70's and sun, so can relate to your nice weather (minus the humidity )! I drove our Clubman S with the sunroof open and windows down today and this evening...aahhhhh.

Sunny Seattle Day!

On a rare sunny February day last weekend in Seattle:



I just had to wash the clubbie and go for a spin.

Absolutely gorgeous We went to the bay area in Feb 2006 and took pics in that same exact spot. I really want to go back! We visited San Jose, San Francisco, Pacifica, Sausalito (Muir Woods park), Carmel, Monterey, 17 mile drive (Lone tree), etc.

NorCal is sooo beautiful!
