We had about 6 inches but it has pretty much gone now. E30 was happy scampering around on compacted snow, winter tyres did their thing. Lots of 4X4s around here, we looked a little out of place with all the Mitsubishis, Toyotas, and nissans thundering around on their Mud and Snows. Saw a couple of range rovers creeping along too!

I got the E46 beached in the middle of the road broadside on after an attempted handbrake turn into the driveway. A couple of neighbours had to come & give me a push :)

That's the spirit..

Wouldn't have noticed even if did snow.. Was decorating my old bedroom that I recently moved out of. Had to wait for some primer to dry (6hours) so went to the pub got and carried on painting till 2 Saturday morning whilst drunk.

Also met up with a mate that I see from time to time.. Turns out he's Bump on here with a black touring.. Which I never knew...
