Years ago - well- 1961 to be precise, I had a a new job in western Pembrokeshire,. I had no idea how cold it could get.
I had a Jowett Javelin and thought I'd be OK with the amount of anti-freeze I had put in.
Leap out in the morning to drive the 6 miles to the oil jetty. Press the starter and a slow grating noise came from under the bonnet.
Had a quick look, to be greeted with the sight of 2 core plugs sticking out about 6cms from the engine block on pillars of ice.
Not my finest motoring moment.
