My 230SL in Quebec's winter wonderland!

I don't normally take my car out in winter, but I thought this particular snowfall made for great pictures. I do envy those of you who can drive your car year round! Here, I put it away in October and put it back on the road in May.

That second shot is awesome.  Nicely framed and great that you dropped down for that lower angle.   Not a bad subject either!   Looks nice, worthy of framing.

jpinet,

Nice photos, the second one will get a spot on my "cool garage wall" lovely the red against the white snow. I lived 27 years in Montreal, I remember one winter in the 70s when we had massive snow and the city was shut down for 3 full days digging out.

Spring is just around the corner .. I cannot wait to take mine out :)

Thanks! as you all, I particularly like the 2nd photo. One day, this photo will be a good memory of my car.

Oh yes. THAT snowstorm! March 4 1971. It was called, and still is, the snow storm of the century. I remember our family car having completely disappeared under the snow and standing on the top to shovel around it.
