| Erie pictures of a cool car. Guenter in Ontario - 8 years ago |
I know it's fine to park your car by the lake in Florida during Winter..
Never a good idea to do it during Winter if you live around the Great Lakes region. Here's what happened in Buffalo.

Minus 40 degrees... Is that Fahrenheit or Celsius?

… I think it was 2008 or 2009 these pictures were posted on PPBB.
It may have been frogster since it was from an ice storm in Versoix, Switzerland.

| It seems way to short / tall for an MG Guenter in Ontario - 8 years ago |
It appears to have side vents / inlets, suggesting it could be rear engined. I don't think there was a short enough Renault Dauphine variant.

That one is a possibility. It's hard to tell just how thick that ice is. That can make the car look taller / shorter.

i don't remember if i posted those but i do remember walking by the car. versoix is just outside geneva, up the lake a few km.
we left geneva in '09 and it was many many years before that. i'm thinking early 2000's
and it was an MG F as pedro states.
i remember that winter very well. that was an amazing blast of cold air from siberia IIRC.
[edited to add:] i did a bit of searching and it turns out to have been january 2005.
