The flipping ice is back

ICE ICE baby ...... no not that one

The cold stuff Excuse the pun but froze my tits off this morning getting the car defrosted! Time to get the leather driving gloves out! and take a coffee out while i do it

Please dont snow again like last year! My baby didnt move for three weeks, it just wasnt worth the hassle! I nearly even bought one of those sukuki jimmi things

haha I know its crap isn't it.

ah the joys of owning a van, last year I was restricted in where I could get to. Think I need to invest in a heated car cover for the car this year

I love it!!! I thought the snow was freaking great last year!! The rd's where empty! I must admit thow I didn't move the bm off the drive! So maybe that's why I liked it?! Oh yeah and I broke my van!

lol i've thought of buying a car cover for mine on bonfire night !

People talk about winter tyres and all but i aint convinced..... not when you have two huge hills near you like i have , and then theres the morons on the road.............

i'd rather walk.... i only work 2 miles away after all - or get one of the 4x4 peeps from work to come get me lol

well I hope my van is as reliable as my old combo was. The car will not be going out in the rubbish weather, i'm not getting the fresh paintwork flicked with that nasty grit salt

I do that walk to work when its bad, its just over a mile lol lazy that I drive really.

Might get some use out of the disco!

shut up showing off with your 4x4 you lol

haha yeah i vote phil doing the pick up and drop offs lol

Haha that would cost a fortune at 12 MPG!

I hope it does snow though, perfect time to sell it and get another BMW

My god that snow was bad got up for work the morning it was really bad and there was a brand new 7 series parked (abandoned) across my drive cos the snow was about a foot deep, so i didn't bother got to work that day was funny watch people try to drive in it tho, oh forgot to say i live on a hill RWD+snow+hill= forget it

I remember seeing a Petrol tanker sliding down the really big Train Bridge / hill in Preston, BACKWARDS I was coming the other way and the drivers face is a picture in my head ill never EVER forget.

OMW - a petrol tanker on a slide! i think i'd have a face on too lol

Ive got a picture somewhere where there is easy a foot of snow on my car! Move it - **** that,

I had a van for my job last year was great fun, and like a lot of folk, my BM stayed put! haha
Swopped jobs now though so only have the BM and a push bike! Either cycling or walking to work I think (dont know what cycling's like the in snow/ice?)

My biggest issue with the snow and ice though isn't the weather or driving conditions, it's the 1 thing everyone want that I don't......GRIT!!!!!

The grit destoryed our roads last year, leaving pot holes and rough conditions everywhere, which the goverment/councils have spent no money on repairing properly, which means those holes will be twice the size after this winter! It winds me up something stupid!!!

The local paper says the Lancashire county council has put £4.4million aside to grit the roads, and probs about £50 to patch them up after! (rant over guys!) haha

Cycling in the snow is fun, but not in ice!

If you have a mountain bike, get a set of maxxis minion or maxxis high rollers on there. Very good tyres!

Yea it's a mountin bike, well hard front and back! Got road tyres on it at the moment though so might need some off-roaders for winter! haha
