Drove up towards the white rose center today to drop off the other half, as she abandoned her car in the works car park. Chrysler 300c ditched with the rear bumper missing on the dual carriage way, whoops. Fair few cars just abandoned on that stretch, it must have been really bad around there yesterday.

beko1987 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Must have been bad yesterday as royal mail sent their office in dearne home. They've been working in the office throughout so they had the fun of getting set up etc, took one of them 7 hours to get home, I've had trips home in the snow like that before!

Sham Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Woke up to OMGSNO! This morning. A proper rarity in North Norfolk, especially on the coast. Won't stick, but it's snowing hard at the moment. Suzie and Boris look cold. Fat_Pirate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyersey1234 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 About 10 years ago I was towed up a hill in one of the buses by a Land Rover during a snow blizzard one night. It was on the back road through Warter between North Dalton and Pocklington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutty2006 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I wish I’d not been busy this morning else I’d have gone out in it for a play. Got 2 landies on the drive ready for it 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
task Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Had quite a bit of snow in Derby on Sunday, which is unusual. I'd been to check in on the old man with the Sprinter so couldn't resist a quick play in the white stuff while I was out Later I got tasked by the local 4x4Response with taking a few doctors and nurses into work as the busses were off and taxis all incapable of moving, no rear seats in the sprinter though so I used the classic. Typical Land Rover fashiom the windscreen washers packed in so I had to rig the front washerjets to the rear washer motor. Need to fix that before the MOT next month.

St.Jude Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Well I got spend another snow day watching the snow fall on the RAV4 while Autodoc sit on their arses with my parts. So instead I trundled to the Aldi to get some veg for some stuff I'm meant to be making in the 107. Gloriously oversteered on to the car park, and off the car park, and on to my drive way. I give it a 4 hotdogs out of 10 squatters. worldofceri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I eventually had to move the car because of building work. 1 mile on an A road with black ice at 15mph, fishtailing at the slightest touch of gas, massive tailback, bloody awful journey! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefoot Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I once read of an Elise being used as a winter weapon of choice. The combination of ultra low weight & proper winter/snow tyres apparently made it unbeatable? Inspired, but unconvinced, I put a set of Hankook Icebears onto an 850kg Scirocco & I haven't looked back. It really will go anywhere. Deep snow or compacted ice on back streets, it just drives, steers & stops. motorpunk and Twiggy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
