i can remember my m8 going down a hill in a street on a bend in the snow yrs ago, he hit 11 cars sliding backwards and forwards  ;D ;D

that was in a mk3 cortina too, and when we used to get quite a bit of snow in london
Sad waste of a good Mk3. I'll have another one day! >:(

I used to cycle everywhere in Sheffield and lived at the top of Ecccleshall.  My cycle into Uni took about 8mins and often reached 35mph!  :o

It took some very defensive riding, not to mention very powerful brakes, lights and (air)horn to stay alive  ;)

Only went airborne once and it wasnt my fault, I was rammed off the road  :o  :'(

now I remember..many years ago approx 20 or more when I was in [ch304]stanbul on a snowy winter night, I had to go a long distance to a friend..

I passed to the other coast with ship..but at the other side the roads were blocked with snow and heavy traffic..I decided to walk as I trust myself ;D .. As the time goes by all my hair and dresses become snowy..I begin to feel tired and my legs become heavy  ;D  but no way to find an empty bus (all full like sardine cans) and no empty taxi.. anyway under heavy snow and face cutting wind I walked approx 7-8 kms :P ..When I reached the house I was freezing and covered with snow :P :P

Bit of snow, and the everything grinds to a halt!

3.8 miles to work took 2 hrs!

The first 1.2 miles took 1.5 hrs!  :o
Mental


if i only had to go 3.8 miles to work id bike it or bus. could walk that in 20mins


Seeing it takes athletes to run a mile in approx 4 mins You could be the worlds fastest walker !! :y :D
