My dad had one of those Renault Dauphines, he called it a " Dolphin", it kinda wasn't suited for the " harsh American life" And sorta just failed in every way very shortly! An experiment that failed miserably! He never bought another " furrin" car after that. P.S. It was if I remember right about $1500.00 or so brand new. He replaced it with a Ford Fairlane, that lasted many years ! A lesson there I guess. On another note, up here in northern N. H. near Canada,we have received about the same for snowfall as you, I have the good fortune of having an F-250, with a 9 foot plow on it, with a nice " comfy " seat and heater ,stereo and wish I had your Kubota as I am nearly out of places to push the stuff! I really enjoy your videos ,and appreciate the effort you put in! Thanks!!!

Pleased you've got Sparky Mk 2 😊 Now, Renault Dauphine. Remember I've often talked about Carl, my friend and mentor for many years. Well it all started when he bought 2 rusty ones and was going to make 2 single seater road cars. In the event they never got built, however that was when I started spending my spare time with him, and got my 'education' which you see the results of today. Oh Rockabilly won't forgive you. All tucked up nice and warm, then put out in that cold. At that age, freeze to death lol.
