Snow's back!

Here we go again.

Everything is white - looks like a Xmas card from our lounge window.

Supposed to last for a week.

Between snow showers it's bright sunshine.

Just as well I didn't take off the prop-shaft and/or VCU for the summer.

Or change over the snow tyres.

I'll be waiting for the clocks changing before I swap anything.

I checked my diary for last year and we had snow here on the 20th of April 2012.

Have fun folks - but Stay Safe.

Singvogel.

we had a flutter but that was it now sun

Snow down here too but it is all mushy wet stuff

Neighbour tells me it's supposed to get worse tomorrow

Loving the spirited driving in this - keep doing the lottery!!!!

......and please don't say 'my Freelander is betterer', it aint

It may not be betterer, but it's certainly more fun.

Well I'm not sure - I can have a hell of a lot of fun in someone else's car, on their insurance and them paying the bills.

I had a LandCruiser for a month on hire one winter and the things it could do were amazing.

The most amazing thing was the fuel consuption - I even checked that I hadn't holed the tank.

Very comfortable though - like a cross-country armchair.

One guy had a leased Disco - that was good too - he carried a bag of spare fuses and relays for it. An electrical wizardry nightmare.

I don't think I could cope with any DIY maintainence on either of these beasts.

Pity I don't do the lottery any more, right enough.

I've driven a D4 oft road and admit it can do more than a Freelander. But wheres the limit? I just wanted to do more difficult things and push it further. All vehicles get stuck eventually and if allowd I would have got it stuck. My Freelander is more fun to drive. Thats got to count for why we like/have them. Our snow didn't settle.

snow here on the hills but at low level nothing really

That little drive in the woods did not look very challenging :scratching_chin:

If you can afford to buy one of these bad boys, then you can Probs afford to run it

We tried to get across the Peaks last night (Holme Moss if you're a local), but found the road blocked by other stuck cars.

Lots of cars struggling on the way down, I just turned on HDC and cruised the whole way down. Great system.

How steep is Holme Moss?

Not too steep, 12, 13% maybe.

But it was very slippery.

Hi Max - Gruß von Schottland.

Frau Singvogel's cousin in Passau reckons the snow will arrive in Freistaat Bayern around Wednesday or Thursday.

Talking about hire cars.
Last year I had a Mitsubishi Shogun Auto on hire for 5 weeks, paid for by the insurance company after a Council Refuse lorry reversed in to my at quite some speed.
The Shogun was amazing, but I swear I could see the fuel gauge going down when driving it at speed. The other downside was coming out of Southampton after a "Shopping trip" with my Wife I accelerated as I would have done in my TD4 Auto and didn"t look at the speedo and lo and behold I went through a speed trap in a 40mph limit touching nearly 50mph. 3 points and £60 that cost me.
