Tetsu0san Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I am sat at work at the moment with the Disco teasing me in the carpark outside. Can't wait to get out of the roads and just enjoy the scenery. Anyone seen or done anything interesting in the snow yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hundreds of retards driving nose-to-tail on the M3 & M27 if that counts. Think I'll swap to the 109 for the drive home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bm52 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 got a loan FL2 from the dealer at present so i had to undertake a test to ensure it worked in the snow....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diablo Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm just amazed at how many tw@ts haven't cleared their lights and roof of snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently HSL at Harpur Hill use them to roam around their site, so that's probably where it's come from. N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSIIA Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 It was from HSL. The BV206 has a distinctive sound when heading down the road, get to hear/see it a few times when working from home. Appropriate vehicle for todays weather. Conditions not bad enough to stop the postman in his little red van though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroanaconda Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Gave up Felling trees in the forest at lunch time and came home absolutely freezing cold and miserable. now all warmed up and looking forward to going back out photo (10).JPG I used to love felling trees in the snow, especially in a nice pretty snowy setting! That said, everything being cold and soaking wet gets old very fast. Sod all snow in my corner of Scotland, warmer here that most of England at the moment by the looks of it. But I guess it's for the best, causes a lot of problems with almost everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off Road Toad Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Not so much fun on a 45degree slope when all the trees are leaning downhill and have to be felled uphill due to impact on surrounding SSSI !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Ah, I guess not no. I think I'm falling out of the loop with the basic methods, haven't touched a chainsaw in 6 months. The FC don't do a great deal with them anymore unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 A completely ****ed Honda CRV on one of the lanes near me. and a Freelander 2 in one of the villages with a headlight/corner of the car hanging out. But the time I got out of work at 3, most of the roads were just slush. Last couple of lanes were good fun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Managed a full 360 this afternoon......it seems special tracks are carp in the snow! My old grizzly claws were so much better..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off Road Toad Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I sure wish they still made Grizzly claws, apart from not being made in a big enough size (35's) and being fast wearing they were awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Visted a ditch ...backwards in the 90, 'booting' the 5.2 to get away from pillock coming at me sideways. He smashed into a telegraph pole, HUGE Damage to his new A3, I winched myself out, advised him in the "Strongest" terms he was a "Man of the right hand" and left him stranded to sort himself out All in all a fun afternoon , and wipe clean seats, so sorted.Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 A30 into Salisbury from Porton/Firsdown direction blocked by lorries and cars unable to get up and down the hills - 4" of snow, not helped by extra traffic due to A303 shut at Amesbury both directions for a while. I went out for a drive ( on my v worn ATs..) no problems even on the hills on the minor roads. Get to see sights like this going the back way to the A36 and M27 to avoid the jam into Salisbury. The other thing that really winds me up is car drivers approaching T junctions too fast, locking wheels and heading straight for your passenger door as you try and get out of the way. GRRR.

mudmagnet Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 well i got my car disco smashed in the front while sitting stationary waiting for the rav4 coming towards me to get past the row of cars, but she was doing about 30 and then just skidded into the front of me wondering why the abs didnt stop her its amazing how many people think that ive got a 4x4 so i can drive as if theres no snow, now im getting an x5 from the insurance company to drive and i really dont want it, i would rather just have my trusty old plodder (ps why has my font changed and i cant change to anything else) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 It's been very boring for me - more so because all the cars are driving at 5mph! No accidents, no mishaps! Maybe it will be better if more snow falls? Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
