Forecast says for Essex, Snow mainly to East Coast is to be likely, thinning towards London, with Tuesday the main risk day so far. hard to know how to plan work as that can change so quick, i tend to feel for all the tech thats used, they still can't forcast a storm in a tea cup, so i'll take it with a large pinch of 'salt'. ok, get he car started Arfur If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

We have it here in the North Riding, the main roads are fine but side roads are loke ice rings. Ive just come back from a call out out in the sticks which took an hour and would normally have taken half that time. Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfur mo Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 One big freeze I got caught in, hours in traffic crawling along needed a pee desperatly, spotted bushes so dives out, i see some other guys doing the same, but I was in full flood before I see a young lady squatting in the sane part if the bush I wes peeing into. I suppose embarrassment stopped her making a noise, and nearby ticking over engines masked her iwn water fall sounds, but once started I had no choice but to continue. Whoops . Nearly got her lol! She did not see much of my anatomy, not that I am anything exceptional down their, it was just too fecking cold to expose itself very far.

norman Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Just been on auto trader looking @ some cheapo 4x4's might buy one, 2k gets you something reasonably reliable. We have had a light covering but it's all compacted and now frozen, so it's treacherous and my car's shizer on ice. Seriously considering some winter tyres for Mrs N's car. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Id say winter / snow tyres would be better than road tyres on a 4x4. Ill let you know how the q7 does when it snows as im deffo going out in it. But last lot of snow my own car has vredestien sessantas (255x35x19 so a bit wide for snow use) but they kept me going due to the pattern imo securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
