All I can say is im glad I got new tyres recently or I would have been stuck for a long time.
Have to admit, I'm surprised I even got my car going this morning
There is a picture of it on my facebook page, the thing was frozen solid and covered in a good 10in of snow!
Still, turned the key...engine turned over...very very slowly then sounded like it free'd up before firing into life
Got it upto temp and it defroze quite quickly
That was more like two inches, you turnip!
Yea after I cleared it away a bit ya gay
Yep, I can see the piles of snow where you cleared it off:Yea after I cleared it away a bit ya gay
Plank
Ahh yea that one, took that piccy at my window, got another from the drivers side.
The snow is upto the wheel nuts
To be fair Sukh, that doesn't look deep at all. I'm on top of a hill so it's really bad round here, got around a foot I reckon, up to my knees when I took the bin out earlier
I think you need to use that shovel again mate, as you're sinking rather quickly into that ten inches of snow
Looks like your car is covered in powdered jizzm
Ok maybe I've exaggerated a bit...and that picture probably doesnt do it justice
When I got onto the road, the door was sweeping the snow out of the way, I know my car is low but that to me points towards ALOT of snow...that was close to atleast 12in

Mate, just give up, FFS
Yea but being small surely everything seems bigger anyway?!To be fair Sukh, that doesn't look deep at all. I'm on top of a hill so it's really bad round here, got around a foot I reckon, up to my knees when I took the bin out earlier...ask TinyTim
I'll go down fighting
"Honest darlin', I'm at least this 'big' "...
Reminds me of something Jaffa said round the campfire @ NatDay. Adam, Stu and the scottish lot were there I think, so funny
Yeah, Stu told Jaffa to put about 6 inches of wood into the fire, so Jaffa pushes in about 2 inches instead. Stu looked at him and said ''Mate, if that's your idea of 6 inches, i'm worried.''
Brilliance
Not too bad here.

I thought you wanted pictures of cars in the snow. Not a light dusting. I am well and truly snowed in. There is no access to my house and there is more snow on its way.
Get your shovel out & work that Christmas Dinner off shovelling your car out!
I hope you've brought those Front Bump Strips in out the cold & got them tucked under your pillow!
Out or the garage and back inready to sort o few things out when it warms up
Now that is a sexy image...just needs a track superimposed and its complete...Out or the garage and back in

Yes they are safe and sound, just waiting for them to mate
Got mine out of the garage today (give the battery a bit of a charge for one) went to drive her to my other garage to start some more work on her but 10mins of open diff no moving on the hill outside on the street called it a day and nursed it back to where she came from lol
Good old cut slicks
Should have got a pic :P
Loving the pic of the T2 Steve - how was the mid engine / RWD combo for you?

I was getting a run upDunc, i can imagine your heavy right foot wasnt a good combo with the cut slicks in the snow ???
Tried it all nice and slow and off the limiter mode but alas 52% hill tackled was about as far as I got. It has got a lovely level of sheet ice covered by snow - only got the diesel of doom out with a big push lol
duncan, sounds like an experience I had in the mazda. Stuck for best part of 2hrs at the bottom of a slip road, 3 stranded artic's behind me. tried all kinds, going up backwards, air out of tyres, digging the ice away ahead of me.. finally the truck behind me was dragged out of the way, which gave me some more room. I walked to the top of the hill, checked there was nothing over the other side, strolled back to car, reversed as far as I could and took a run up!! slid up the hill, just made it over the other side before I lost all traction again.
I was dreaming of a full locking diff in either of the cars lol - remember a similar situation at the Tiergarten one very icy morning trying to get up that steep hill, the little 5 with diff crawled up with no real drama. But lots of other stuff was really struggling. Really is 4x4 time at the moment
Sounds like you were lucky to get out of work Chris
Feck me I ain't letting any snow stop me sorting my 5 out been out stripped the engine so I can get the pistons and liners out.
Fecking feet are freezing can't feel my toes
I should have taken this a couple of days ago before half of the snow melted - it was up to my knees and the Twingo looked like an Espace
