Anyone having fun in a snow

[MarkRSi]

Not much in Inverurie alas - probably could have had the roof down!

We still have nice weather down here (Hampshire) although this morning was rather cold!

Heading to Applecross today, think I'll be taking the coast road 7 series and the snow are not a great mixture!

Just head out to Fishrford where we are.... 8 inch of snow with 2 foot drifts on our drive.

Should be gone by tomorrow

i left work at 12 in the morning and drove home on the a96, a very lonely drive it was too on an unploughed un gritted road with 4-5 inches of snow no tyre tracks. suffice to say i was very happy i still had my winter tyres on.

I saw a BM 7 (Tourer) this morning near Shieldaig... did we pass each other?

I was in this (taken this morning)

went to bed last night with no snow on the ground. woke up this morning a foot deep in the stuff.

naturally (according to the law of sod) i had parked the compressor behind the landrover. meaning i had to clear 2 cars instead of 1 before leaving for work.

FYI: Pirelli P-Zeros are rubbish in the snow, even for just switching cars around in the driveway

I ordered new summer tyres last week when I saw the predicted temperatures. Low and behold they stil havent arrived and i'm glad that the winters are sill on now!
Phoenix - do you stay up by the palm court hotel? Saw a compressor near there the other day.

Same, my MR2 was parked in front of my Disco so would have had to clear two cars.


Of course my solution was simple. Take the Toyota

No need to be sorry, I don't mind the snow myself

no that is the champagne one, he lives almost opposite the palm court, mine is one of the black ones. the other also belongs to a guy named Paul

P.S. there is also a grey one in Banchory, and that's the lot in Aberdeen as far as i know. (Stupid Aberdeen making it too hard to find a rare car) :P
