I just got "The Bumble" out from his year long slumber. Our Christmas Parade isn't 'til the 8th.

My wife and I participated in a local Christmas parade. She came up with the decorating idea and I executed it. Our car club including me carried local dignitaries. My wife rode in a friend's roadster.

I was motivated to try this but it has already turned icy here in Germany. Most mornings have black ice. Also not sure my insurance would cover an accident in winter conditions.

I also agree if there is a chance of ice on the roadway I would never drive my model A. because of the small tire patch is contacting the road surface.
