Decided I'm gonna WFH today.  Apart from the landrover down the end of the close, nobody has ventured out in cars down my road today...

Fun? My MV6 is off the road, so it would be boring FWD for me :(

Besides, the annual Close snowball fight is bound to kick off around midday :P

Also, my dad, bless his cotton socks, always said if your car hasn't got the clearance to drive above the snow, its probably a journey too far.  The snow here is above sill line on both cars, which was the real decider for me...

Im glad Im off today as the sky is full of it and I'm fed up of driving in the stuff now. Its not so much the snow itself its a combination of the council who never seem to grit when and where they need to and those road users who either drive at 20 mph slower than they could or else 20mph higher than they should. Dont get me wrong, the snowfall here is nothing to what some of you are getting ,but I am not looking forward to driving to work tommorrow if it continues like this. :(

Track rod end.


You got those other 2 o-rings for the stat yet (the ones between stat housing and transfer pipe)?

Decided I'm gonna WFH today.  Apart from the landrover down the end of the close, nobody has ventured out in cars down my road today...
Some have tried to get out today (and failed miserably), but Biggy didn't have a problem at all.

The snowline is up to the car sills. Obviously less clearance on my car. I suspect once I've got off the estate roads, things would be easier, though I'd put a pound that the council haven't gritted the roads down the hill, which could make things 'interesting' ;D
