Mate, we may be onto something here. The mother in law is coming to stay Friday - Monday next week, so an escape on Sunday would be rather splendid.

This will all hinge on the chromie having an MOT, should have it in Tuesday, so as long as the leaky exhaust doesn't give me too much grief, game on. :)

I love it when people brazenly discuss plans on the world wide web 8O!

Good work chaps - Dezzy - your pic ratio is way low these days - this gay weekend of fun you have planned needs to be loaded with fresh pix!

If I was a lazy layabout like you mate it wouldn't be an issue. 6 days a week in the snow fitting Tyres is more than enough to prove my hardness. Sundays are to warm through. :wink:

Ha ha nice work if you can get it mate.

I have even looked at the lump this week. So busy at work. Everyone wants new Tyres in the snow. Apparently we are getting hit hard tonight. I am well over this snow now. 9th day tomorrow of hard snowing. Tonight I had to clear 2 foot of snow off the kitchen and conservatory roof's. Madness :mad:

I will be honest, there's no chance of me spending my only day off fooking about with this biatch, in this weather. I am getting home soaked through and bastard cold every night. I like spending my Sundays inside ATM. Soon as it's gone and I get chance it will be in.
I won't consider driving it with road salt down anyway.

Soon as I start putting it back together I will get some pics up. :cool:

Can't blame you Dez. People at work keep asking me if I have done anything with the M3 and then remind them that we (20+ of us) had to spend nearly 3 hours clearing the car park at work with snow shovels. :roll:

If they think I am disconnecting exhausts and gearbox's lying on my back in this weather they must be mad.

Speaking of weather, we have had another 3 inches of snow since I cleared the drive at 7 o'clock tonight :cry:
