Whle I am not overly fond of driving in very cold weather, I can recall my experience much as you described. In my case, I had just had the engine rebuilt and I needed to break it in with a thousand miles or so before taking it to the track in the spring time. Twenty or so hours averaging 50 miles an hour did it. And most of those were spent bundled up with my cheeks tingling from the cold. It was great. I'm glad you and your wife are getting to enjoy your car in spite of the cold.

You now understand how I describe a ride in the Cobra to my friends. It is a total sensory experience. Every sense is fully engaged, and there are few times in our lives when that is the case.
