Watched my neighbour struggle to get his C class away from the kerb then give up. So decided 8.5J wide wheels were going to have even less chance. Plus Id have to celar my dront garden to get the car out.

I settled for just removing 95% of the snow off the car. :cry:

Snowed like a motherfucker here last night, I couldn't get traction reversing up my hill at all. Eventually I took a big enough run up and managed to guide it through the gate posts :eek:

It was still snowing at about 10, and my boss said if it doesn't stop in the next hour I could go home. Guess what, 10 minutes after the sun came out and melted it all. I was looking forward to the afternoon off too...
Not in E30s any more :(

Have 9"J on the rear of mine so didn't go out either. Have now lent it to a mate for a few days as he is carless so at least it will come back washed :D
