ICE Cold ;D

Well I recieved this from a friend today.... It brings a whole new meaning the the term: ICE! Sorry about the size!

Haha!
Seen those before - rampantly p-shopped, but still fun!

(Oh and imagine what it would be like driving on THAT ice - having nearly stacked it on the A1 again last night due to an inch of sheet ice covered in snow it would be er, interesting!)

;D ;D ;D ;D

Also rampantly photoshopped I think, but the Trabi must have been pretty iced up in real life anyway! ;D ;D And being a Trabant, I guarantee you that once you had thawed/icepicked your way into the driver's seat, you could get that thing started no problem at all, well unless the petrol was frozen, since the engine uses no oil other than the small amount you chuck into the petrol tank when you fill up, and the engine has very few parts that could possibly be affected by the cold, since it has only seven moving parts!! ;D ;D ;D

I'm so impressed by these pics that i am going to belive them to be real, so don't spoil it

I can't see any real evidence of photoshopping....the coastal position explains how it happened, even though it is so extreme. If they are photoshopped the 'shopper has gone to enormous efforts to make them real...the 4x4 (2nd and 3rd image) has exactly the same icing patterns in both shots - including those bumps on the road...the only difference is the icicles from the mirror, and you can see where they have broken off!

It's either 100% genuine or the most incredible and fastidious photoshopping I've ever seen.

They are actually real, I see them about a week ago, and being the kind of person that loves too see images of weather phenomenon I investigated...
It was caused by a storm that whipped up Lake Geneva in January this year, as the waves were crashing over, in to the streets it was frozen by temperatures like -12. Here are some great gallerys of the event

Odd.
'Cos I swear I saw those exact images on another forum before christmas...

[skoda_norman]

OMG, that is weird!

look at the trabbi one tho, and behind it is a completely un icey fiat bravo- do i smell fish? ;D

Ah - Lake Geneva, so fresh water - I was wondering about that, as it has to be VERY cold for sea water to freeze!

Great pics!
