Hi all.
Finally I've managed to take few photos of my Leon.
I live in Ukraine. These days we have realy cold winter. Few days ago we had -28 C, but Leon runs fine
Today I plan to wash him, he is too dirty.

-23.5 Bloody hell!!!!!!

Sod being outside taking pics.

If you try and wash it the water will just freeze onto the car!

In Moscow there is -35. Many cars runs. But I've read that on latest Renaults some convexities had appeared on the roof.
I've not investigated body of my Leon. Need wash.
After wash car will be dried with air. It's not a first wash during the winter.

Holy **** that's cold! Good to know the Leon still works though!

BTW. Right now I had only problem with lock in the trunk - it didn't want to close after opening. So I used WD-40 and it helped. All other locks operates well.

Great to see the car doing well in extreme temperatures, well extrem for us at least

I know -23 is cold, but for some reason my brain can't process how cold it is. Although saying that, I'm sure some of the walk in freezers I've been in must be around that temperature.

on the plus side the cars will run in a nuclear winter!

-23.5 what the hell!

I think all hell would break loose if it was that cold here, We have problems with about 1/2mm of snow let alone very cold weather.

Oh, thanks for posting the pics, like the tints on the motor.

Those shiny things are to look at before signalling and moving?

Everybody avoids me anyway, so another one won't hurt..... much.

One more exiting thing in such weather is extreme driving. I always proud of myself, car and wheels (Goodyear UG 500) when I got to the top of snowy and icy hill near my work. Today I saw latest BMW 530 that was in the bottom of the hill and unable to move any further because of rear drive.

Don't pee in the open - you might have to snap it off mid stream.
