Gotta say, pretty impressed with the 360 in this respect too. Very quick to heat up! As you say, we are talking 5 minutes :D It isn't Vectra hot (bench mark for me lol) but it'll do. I laughed at the BMW Z4 that couldn't manage a bank earlier as I Lolvo'd past. :D

Loving the pics! ^

Check the thermo valve thingie in the coolant circuit! :wink:
My 740 heated up before reaching the end of the street after replacing that.

Here it is again rather fresh weather, -27 :mrgreen:

Had to wake up and start putting wood to fireplace, surprisingly cold inside as I'm bit cheap and don't use heaters unless I have to, weather report did say -12 so it was not necessarily to turn on heaters, but they were horrible wrong, so here I sit watching flames in fireplace, under the blanket and waiting temp to get back up, only +16 inside, brrrr.

Snow is funny stuff, how it can sit there without falling off? Someone should start cleaning up that forest, any volunteers? :mrgreen:

Oh yes, we got sunshine yesterday, but I could not enjoy of it as I had to work, maybe someday I can go and do small photoshoot on sunny winter day :P

Ive just checked the thermomiter inside my fridge, and that doesnt even go down to -27.

Bears are not around at winter time, they sleep over winter in their nests, usually under snow as we have not very large caves.
