Your Rover looks great there in the snow Thijs! Whereabouts were the photos taken?

Thank you Ron!

I crossed over the border into Belgium for a 100-150km spin and took these photos just north of Herve! The roads and country side out there are just fantastic.

Fabulous Thijs Shooting off on a tangent, the scenery reminds me of the Belgian hard men of cycling and training in all weather. Frans Verbeeck would be out in weather like that, freezing cold and the roads covered in snow, off on 200 plus km training run. Had it not been for a certain Eddy Merckx, Verbeeck would have been one of the greatest classics riders. Unfortunately, on something like 10 occasions, Verbeeck was 2nd to Mr Merckx!

I'm by no means into cycling, but with it being described like this one almost gets enthusiastic!

Yes! About a year ago actually. The 2200TC needed work, a lot of work. Had the opportunity to buy this V8 and went for it. It made sense. This car combined the joy of instant motoring, whilst spending what I'd probably end up spending on doing up my 2200TC!

Haha, don't see much of it here in my part of NSW Graeme, although I do have some photos of my Rover dusted in snow, but that was up in Orange which is over 900m.

No sun here unfortunately, but a rare opportunity these days to get OCC out for a run on a short work trip. The main roads were dry, but others are still snow-covered like this one!
