"Snow is no joke when driving a moke." That made me smile. We haven't had any yet.

I think that would bee good idea here. We have ~25 cm snow now.
But its -20 C outside, Moke might get very warm......

It might come as a bit of a surprise but a total of 3 F1 champions drove Mokes in the BBC Autopoints. I can't remember the actual years but as well as Jim Clark, Graham Hill and John Surtees also took part.

I remember watching it on TV and it was really good entertainment. As others have said the star of the show was the Haflinger.
