I've yet to see one pulling vehicles out of snow or flood water. I see em driving about when there is snow or floods but summit tells me it's just to make people think that they are using em as you would expect em to be used.

Me thinks they are just a gimmick

Quite weird here if Fife about 12 miles North of the Forth Bridge

Not snowing as such, but very high winds blowing snow laying on the fields into new drifts

Was out earlier picking up some sand. Driving on pretty much clear Tarmac then suddenly a 200ft length of snow about 3ft deep

ya fekin poooofs.i been fencing and lambing,its only weather.

Tried to snow in Harlow earlier, just a few flakes.
Now loading in Dartford and the sky is white, am wondering whether the snow may push further south than forecasted.
I likes snow I do

They aren't anywhere near worn out. Just wanna get em bedded in before it's MOT cos it aisn't likely to get much use until then.

I've had the landy for coming up to 5 years and it's still running on the original pads, discs and bearings from when I got it. The dust shields have broken free and are driving me nuts with their rattling and I have had a bit of brake squeal coming on recently.

I figure that I might aswell just swap the lot out for new as I would be stripping it all back when I went to give it a clean up. The old bearings will just go in my spares box as they would still be good for getting myself of somebody else out the deep stuff if summit were to happen on a days laning or for LZIR.
