Dramas! i got to work, just me and my foreman. The house we're building has a basement so we could work! but we went home. Thats where i got stuck about 500yards from my house! Typical i can drive a 50mile round trip and get stuck so close to home! but thats a good thing i think. So walked home to get one of my shovels to dig the old turd out. Got the car out, put my shovel away, quick snap of the royal occasion. This lady comes down in a chelsea tractor, mounts the kerb to get by, gets stuck and starts on at me about how stupid i am!

I kindly told her what i had been doing she said she didn't care as she had been to work and sent home and her daughter was locked out of the house! bloody cheeky tart. Some people have no clue. I told her if she had waited she wouldn't be stuck and about to hit my car and that she wouldn't indeed be home to open the door for precious!

I then got stuck again by moving out of the way for this fool as all 4 of her wheels were spinning and the car was falling onto mine!

Then i had to help the volvo infront of me aswell with my trusty shovel! As she also had an rwd estate with open diff wrongness. I never got stuck in my old sport with it's LSD. How i wanted one today!






It hammering it down here still

i did some lovely drifts but thats how i got stuck in the first place!

I like the way you've attached that shovel to the back of the car, so you clear the road for everyone else as you go - such selfless dedication.

We had shitloads of snow last January ... I managed to drive the cab (with 60/40 kit) from the airport to home, about 17km. The good thing was it was fresh snow so the sump didn't have too many probs carving its way through it. Good fun sliding all over the place .. huge smiles etc etc.
But could I get the car up my drive ?? Nope. It has a very slight uphill gradient ... and I mean slight. So I had to get the girlfriend out of bed to help me push .. not verty happy going from a warm bed to 6 inches of snow.

That's the second time in so many years a tiny kerb has ruined my fun in the snow.

I don't tend to get stuck in rain, so no problems here.

Simon,
Try living over here - what you have there is a mere "fine" coating of snow !!

Easy, tiger

Simon - you hero helping all those poor unfortunate folk with your trusty shovel!

Nobody is driving around the streets where I live as the gradients are very, very steep. It's just too dangerous and there's no way you are going to stop coming down some of the streets.

I've managed to get to work and it's still coming down here. It's going to be fun going home!

quality

si ya should have swung the shovel round her bonce mate lol

not a single fooking snowflake here

strange yhow they always said it worse up north when i was a kid
seems to have totally swapped now

was so looking forward to ploughing thru it all

i want 2 go and play in the snow but i've no snow and no car as she's away gettin a bit of surgery done

Prayin we don't get any over here till fri

well it's supposed to freeze friday, i hope not! still snowing hard here...........

damn its cold i don't start work till four so i better get my boots and glove's on snowman calling me

Simon... I'm glad you put a snow plough on the front of your car... lot of good it did though!

I know what you mean about the LSD being a god send... when I had my 320iS and I was in London, there was a freak snow storm that froze instantly... I think I was about the only one that made it out of London on the A1, although it was sideways mostly!

15 hours it took to get home that day! Luckily I had just filled the fuel tank, bought chocolate & coke and the Sugababes album to listen to!

(it was a few years back... Sugababes were okay then)

They never were

Well... I like them. Tell me you wouldn't do at least 2 of them...

I know, I know, no excuse for listening to their music. Bit like Girls Aloud then....

he who f**ks ugley, F**ks often

I think I would have found another use for that shovel if the bint in the 4x4 had started having a go at me!

Ha ha, 2 ton, fat tyres, 380bhp - try getting an 8 series to move on ice!!!!!!!!

Took about 15 minutes to do a 3 minute journey - and it was only that quick 'cos the main road inbetween was cleared!!!
Did have a snowman on the roof the whole way though!!! I'll put a pic up when i get a chance!!!

the snow here is just above my front lip spoiler. all lectures were counceleld and its like world war three walking around here, its madness. I have no food at all though so im in a slight predicament!

Dammit! I want some snow!!!

I was born in the North, lived in the South for 15 years, and am now in the Midlands.

This morning I couldn't work out whether I'd get stuck or not....
