Christmas in the mild East

Peugeot 205 GTI 1991

Karl May's book "Christmas in the Wild West" inspired me to write this headline, although "East" is at best a correct geographical indication for Central Europe in relation to May's American West.
In any case, the reason for this is the surprisingly mild and almost autumnal weather that we have been enjoying for some time now.

Although there is hardly any Christmas spirit and even the ski resorts have no reason to rejoice, some classic car or youngtimer owners are allowed to go for a drive on December 25 or 26 without needing winter tires and worrying about road salt.

Many of them did, as I was able to see for myself on a short spin. Have fun!
