Save it till the roads are nice out. What's the use of driving it in snow when you are worried about all the other drivers possibly hitting you?

I was ready for an MOT all last week but to gay to take the car out in the rain/snow.

I've decided to strip the inlet manifold in an attempt to cure an idle air leak problem.

I don't see the point in taxing the car when the weather is so pap!

I'm the same mine is going to wait until May now

Glad I didnt tax mine this month. We had about 6" of snow when I woke up yesterday and have had about the same again since last night

Get the E30 out? Are you mad?

This was yesterday

And this morning

And there is still plenty coming down

You know it's heavy when the snow starts drifting like that

Post Sun Mar 24, 2013 1:17 pm

I'm impressed with how clear the actual lane looks, the A42 and A45 looked worse than that a 6:00 this morning!

I tavelled from Aberystweth on the west coast to retford near doncaster yesterday and some of the roads out in the sticks were down to one lane an the snow was over the hedges, there were also a number of fields with sheep in with the snow nearly as high as the sheeps backs no way would the e30 be out!

In a way I'm glad mine never came out at all last year either. Summer was so shite tax would have been a waste of money.

I'm hoping this year will be different.

Mine gets driven all year!

I was at Mallory on Friday and it was fine, I even drove home on my track Kumho V70a's which was a little.... interesting!

I'm thinking of not taxing mine till May, and i was gonna tax it March this year what with Easter being early and how nice it was last year

Do it on line if April gets warmer

Post Mon Mar 25, 2013 10:49 am

I hope the weather gets warmer and sunnier soon

Post Mon Mar 25, 2013 12:13 pm

We are ok in London, snowed all through Saturday but didn’t settle really do hope it gets sunnier and warmer waiting to take the cab out. Wanted to go ACE Cafe on the 1st of April but I think I’ll wait till May

It's not the snow we have to worry about. It's the salt that kills them!!!!
