Can see RWD being the main issue this time of year, but apparently quite a machine

Here's something I've never seen in the wild:

Back seat was somethin':

Are you buying it ?

Ha! No, notice we're it's located too, a bit of a drive for me 

These came with an iPad as the manual.  They are very cool and would be a great cruiser.

Wasn’t your Triumph farther away and need to cross international border?

With the winter tires and electronic nannies available now, RWD wouldn't be much of an issue for me.  I learned to drive in winter with RWD.

As one of the members here who dailies a RWD car, I agree with Bubba. Good tires are absolutely key, and unless you are driving in 30cm of snow every day, you will be fine.

It's just a kitten...it only has the 3.0L engine!   

[ChaosphereIX]

Yep, AWD was 3.0 SC V6 only in the XJ and XF. The V8s were RWD only. FPace and FType SVR / R got 5.0 Sc V8 with AWD.

Jr. drives his 5.0 all winter.  He's seen the proof of good winter tires...FWD cars beside him in the city when he was in uni - and he's able to drive away from them on snowy roads.  Albeit slowly, but still, he's no worse off anyway.

Helps if your city is flat, you don't get a lot of snow generally, or it's a second car. After hearing S Ontario is getting it's first snow now that puts things in perspective

I dailied a RWD for many years and most of the time it's fine, but occasionally it can be a real PITA. No way I'd get one now

[ChaosphereIX]

Yeah if I was in the 'Peg, I would probably have a gone for something with AWD for sure. But Ottawa, although it gets its fair share of snow sometimes, is fairly flat for my driving area and street clearing is decent.

I can't say the Edmonton area is Katmandu, but with the amount of ice and snow we've had this year, no way would I have only a RWD car to commute with. I mean its annoying how many FWD types can't make it through an advanced green, I wouldn't want to make the situation worse with a RWD.

I love this colour.  There are two Lottomax draws before the auction ends.

Lady Mimosa got a first class enclosed truck delivery with customs package, door to door. I'm fine with the tab on a collector car, but not for a daily driver!

With it being a Euro does it mean it has the full performance or would it still be the lame ass performance that NA got with that generation engine?  Interesting color, would that have been stock?

IIRC Canada got the good engines as well, the US didn't

I like the colour on it, but as a civil engineer it automatically recalls this:

Hey, she's British, high-maintenance and the paint IS named Mimosa, so the name fits

Canada only got the Euro-spec model for 1994 and we only got 45 of them. That was the 286 hp version, not the 321 hp version that the mint green one is. And I could be wrong but after that special 1994 model I don't think we got the M3 until 1997, when the U.S.-spec model was upgraded from 3.0 to 3.2 litres. I wouldn't necessarily call the NA model lame. It was still a great car and significantly cheaper than it would have been had we continued getting the Euro model.

I'm pretty sure that's an OEM paint job but I don't think mint green was offered as a regular colour.
