1963/64 was a strong winter, in Germany, too. It's still there: http://www.taunuskaefer.de/_verschollen.htm The dead body of the driver is still there, too. P.S. And this winter has caused the death of the brand DKW, no kidding! Many two-stroke-engines, especially from the F102, were bursted due the cold temperatures, so the selling of DKW-cars collapsed in the year 1963. @walter: this winter was indeed the reason for te comeback of "your" brand. -- Last edit: 2010-06-07 11:28:20 |

This is rather about winter 1962/63. The big lake in teh centre of Holland, the IJsselmeer, was frozen. The ice was thick enough for the officials to organise a car rally on the ice, and the ANWB even made route signs so everybody could find his way on the ice... |

I remember it well ... it was hairy in the UK, too. It started snowing 26/12/62 and didn't clear until March; I often gave thanks for my Mini. |

I just saw a short scene from this film in television: a 1970+ (!) Citroën 2CV... |

And the Massey-Ferguson 135 wasn't produced until 1964 |
